the 3rd chord is A C chord moved up 2 frets , dont know what its called .
the 4th chord is an a chord , or some sort of variation of it .

gabe starts off by plucking each string , and then going into a more up tempo beat .
he starts of kind of like this .

E | – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

pluck the last 2 strings each chord together . for the G chord alternate from
hitting the a and E string . so first hit the a and not the E .

when gabe sings the first line of the verse , he strums the C variation once . and
then proceeds to pluck the a variation . he then raises the tempo and plucks each
chord twice except for the a which he lingers on for longer .

he uses the same chords throughout the song .
in the last part of the song he slows it down and finger picks . i dont know
exactly how he does it , so just make it up as you go along ;d practice some improv .

verse 1
C9 G
it’s you and me moving
C A
at the speed of light into eternity
C9 G C A
tonight is the night to join me in the middle of ecstasy .
C9 G C A
feel the melody in the rhythm of the music around you , around you
C9 G C
i’m gonna take you there , i’m gonna take you there

so don’t be scared
A
i’m right here baby
C9 G
we can go anywhere , go anywhere
C
but first it’s your chance ,
A
take my hand come with me

[ chorus : ]
C9 G C
it’s like i’ve waited my whole life for this one night
A
it’s gonna be me you and the dance floor
C9 G
’cause we’ve only got one night
C
double your pleasure
A
double your fun and dance
C9
forever ( ever , ever )
G
forever ( ever , ever )
C
forever ( ever , ever )
A
forever girl forever
C9
forever ( ever , ever )
G
forever ( ever , ever )
C
forever ( ever , ever )
A
forever on the dance floor

verse 2 ( same as verse 1 )

feels like we’re on another level

feels like our loves intertwined ,

we can be two rebels breaking the rules

me and you , you and i

all you got to do is watch me

look what i can do with my feet

baby feel the beat inside ,

i’m driving you can take the front seat

just need you to trust me
oh ah oh

it’s like!

[ chorus ]

bridge [ finger picked ] same basic progression as verse 1 .

it’s a long way down ,

we’re so high off the ground ,

sending for an angel to bring me your heart

girl , where did you come from?

got me so undone ,

gazing in your eyes got me singing what a beautiful lady

no “if”s , “and”s or “maybe”s

i’m releasing my heart and it’s feeling amazing

there’s no one else that matters

you love me and i won’t let you fall girl

let you fall girl oh

ah ah ye yea

i won’t let you fall , let you fall

let you fall oh oh

ye yea

yea yea

it’s like!

[ chorus ]
