Fm D# I got a version of you in my head C# I don't wanna ruin it, I don't wanna ruin it Fm D# I got a version of you in my bed C# I don't wanna ruin this, there ain't no undoing this Fm D# Sleeping, why would we go dreaming? C# Why would we go anywhere? Fm D# Let's fight the daylight, I can't get my head right C# Why would we go anywhere?
