one , two , three , four

G
underneath the lilac tree , i close my eyes and suddenly
C
i’m ten years old and running through , an open field chasing after you
G
sounds of summer fill my ears , if i live 10 , 000 years
C
i’ll never feel as good as this , moments before our first kiss

Em
there is nothing to demand , no algebra to understand
Am D7
just sunlight on a freckled face
Am C D7
and everything in its right place

G
simple things turn magical , minutes freeze like popsicles
C
and drip their seconds down our shirts , i love you so much it hurts
G
there’s no such thing as real time , i’ve been yours and you’ve been mine
C
and we’ve lived ever happily , everywhere i’ve been you’ve been with me

Em
there is nothing to control , no question mark left on our souls
Am D7
just sunlight on a freckled face
Em
there is nothing to demand , no politics to understand
Am D7
just sunlight on a freckled face
Am D7
everything in its right place
Am C D7
everything in its right place

( arpeggiating )
G D7
and i want to give you a brand new sky
G D7
something so open , it brings tears to your eyes
G D7
so clear and so present , it doesn’t seem real
G D7
i want to show you how you make me feel

G D7
i want to give you a brand new dream
G D7
where two horses drink from a silver stream
G D7
as the trees catch fire they lift their heads
G D7
and bolt together through the forest across our beds

G D7
i want to bring you the fields of flowers
G D7
i want to build you eiffel towers
G D7
take the clouds in the evening , turn ’em into stars
G D7
and drop ’em like keys through your prison bars
set you free , yeah
