xxx1st verse :
D Bm G
breathe in for luck , breathe in so deep
A C D
this air is blessed , you share with me
D Bm G
this night is wild , so calm and dull
A C D
these hearts they race from self control
D Bm G
your legs are smooth , as they graze mine
A ( pause )
we’re doing fine , we’re doing nothing at all
chorus :
A
my hopes are so high that your kiss might
F#m
kill me ,
G
so won’t you kill me
F#m G
so i die happy
D F#m
my heart is yours to fill or burst ,
G F#m
to break or bury , or wear as jewelry
G F#m D
whichever you prefer
2nd verse :
D Bm
the words are hushed , lets not get busted
G A C
just lay entwined here , undiscovered
D Bm
safe and near from all the stupid questions
G A C
hey did you get some? man , that is so dumb
D Bm G ( pause )
stay quiet , stay near , stay close they can’t hear
so we can get some
chorus :
A
my hopes are so high that your kiss might
F#m
kill me ,
G
so won’t you kill me
F#m G
so i die happy
D F#m
my heart is yours to fill or burst ,
G F#m

bridge/outro :
Bm G
hands down this is the best day
D
i can ever remember
A
always remember
Bm G
the sound of your stereo , the dim of the soft lights ,
D A
the scent of your hair , that you twirl in your fingers
Bm ( pause ) G
and the time on the clock , when we realized it’s so late
D A
and this walk that we shared , together
Bm G
the streets were wet and the gate was locked
D A
so i jumped it , and i let you in
Bm G
and you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
D A
and you kissed me like you meant it
Bm G
and i knew , that you meant it ,
D A
that you meant it , that you meant it
Bm G
and i knew , that you meant it ,
D ( hold )
that you meant it
