D
Sit upon my lap. Are you ready for bed?
Wait just a second, let me clear my head.
I've got something to talk to you about,
and I think it's going to be
              Bm
One of those nights where we sit up and
talk awhile and completely empty.
D
I've something on my chest, I've gotta get it out.
I won't let your ceiling come breaking down
       Bm
And I don't know how to tell you this,
                               A   G
But I, I think I'm falling in love,
            D
Yeah, with you.

Chorus:
                   G
Through things we don't know about
                  F#m          G
Through things we don't know about
                D
That helped us see

So take my hand if you want to
I promise I'll never leave
I'll stand right by you
I swear I won't betray you
When I see you smile
It's like an innocent smile
It's such a beautiful smile
It's one of those smiles
That I only see in my dreams
So, let's me and you
Yeah, that's what we would talk about

Chorus:
                   F#m         G
Through things we don't know about
                   F#m         G
Through things we don't know about
                D       A
That helped us see the way
           D           A
Yeah, even only for a moment
                        F#m    G
Through things we don't know about
                        F#m    G
Through things we don't know about

      Bm              A
Come stand by me and I'll find out
      G
What person I can be
              Bm
And when we stand through it all,
               A
Together, we stand tall.
                        F#m    G
Through things we don't know about
                        F#m    G
Through things we don't know about
                D
They helped us see
                Bm A
They helped us see

Chorus:
The things we don't know about
The things we don't know about
They helped us see in the way
Yeah, even only for a moment
The things we don't know about
The things we don't know about
They helped us see in the way
Yeah, even only for a moment
The things we don't know about
The things we don't know about
