A E/G
i remember thinking
F# E *
i’ll go on forever only knowing i’ll see you again .

A
but i know
E/G
the touch of you is hard to remember .
F# E *
but like that touch i know no other .

A
and for sure
E/G
we have danced in the risk of each other .
F# E *
would you like to dance around the world with me?

A E/G
i’ll be
F# E *
falling all about my own thing .
A
and i know
E/G
you’re the heaviest weight .
F#
when you’re not here
E *
that’s hung around my head .

A
and your lips burn wild
F G
thrown from the face of a child
E
and in your eyes a scene of the greatest view hey .
A
do what you will always
F G
walk where ya like your steps

do as you please .
E
i’ll back you up .

A E/G
i remember thinking
F# E *
sometimes we walk , sometimes we run away .
A
but i know
E/G
no matter how fast we are running .
F# E *
somehow we keep , somehow we keep up with each other .

A E/G
i’ll be
F# E *
falling all about my own thing .
A
and i know
E/G
you’re the heaviest weight .
F#
when you’re not here
E *
that’s hung around my head .

A
and your lips burn wild
F G
thrown from the face of a child
E
and in your eyes a scene of the greatest view hey .
A
do what you will always
F G
walk where ya like your steps

do as you please .
E
i’ll back you up .
