Em                   G
Slip your hand into my hand
        F#m               C#m
And our feet will move in time
          D
I've got winged heels
                 A
And if it's the way you feel
             C#m                  D
Then we can leave our distance behind

 Em                  G
Slip your hand over my hand
          F#m            C#m
There's a meeting of our minds
        D               A
Take my energy, show me all you see
            C#                     F#m
And we can leave our difference behind

                  D               E
Then I turned my head, I heard a sound
              F#m                  B
You know that I won't be hanging around
             A       E
To see the grass grow
             A       E
To see the grass grow

Chorus:
            G
I couldn't see a world without you
F#m                C#m
Take another hand? I'm not about to
D               A
Want to see you all the time
C#m                D
Want to keep your hand in mine
Em          G
I couldn't see a world without you
F#m                C#m
Take another hand? I'm not about to
D               A
Want to see you all the time
C#m                D
Want to keep your hand in mine
Em          G
I couldn't see a world without you
F#m                 C#m
Take another hand? I'm not about to
D               A
Want to see you all the time
C#m                D
Want to keep your hand in mine

And we can leave our distance behind
Take my energy
Slip your hand into my hand
If it's the way you feel
Slip your hand into my hand
