             B       F#/A#
Why would I want to fly
          G#m
Be on the last red eye
                 E
Talkin' to your voice, only hearing noise
          F#
Oh, it's not enough
            B        F#/A#
All of the nights I spent
            G#m
Drownin' my discontent
             E
Wasting me away, everything has changed
           Em
Now that I found us

       C#m         Em
And it feels like home

Chorus:
             B        F#/A#
Darling, if you don't mind
               G#m
I'll take your hand tonight
                E
We could just slow down time
        F#
Let me adore you
              B    F#/A#               G#m
And from the moment I looked in those dark brown
eyes
           E
I can't remember life
   F#
Before you

Why would I want to go?
Now that you're all I know
Smilin' under stars
Playin' chasin' cars
Somethin' 'bout the art of music in the dark

And it feels like home

Chorus:
Darling, if you don't mind
I'll take your hand tonight
We could just slow down time
Let me adore you
And from the moment I looked in those dark brown
eyes
I can't remember life
Before you
Oh, before you

             B         F#/A#
I bet I was lost and alone
      G#m
I was barely holding on
         E                       F#
To the thought of a moment like this
             B         F#/A#
I bet I was lost and alone
      G#m
I was barely holding on
         E                      F#
To the thought of a moment like this
                      B         F#/A#
Oh, I must have been lost and alone
      G#m
I was barely holding on
         E                             F#
To the thought that someone like you exists

Darling, if you don't mind
I'll take your hand tonight
We could just slow down time
