F#m
This is gonna be torture
   G            D
Before it's sublime
                          C#m
Does that make it crazy,  mmmm

F#m
Cash in all of my courage
    G              D
Before you're all mine
                           C#m
Does that make it crazy, mmmmm

Chorus:
F#m
Oh my god I wanna know what it feels like
G
To hold you close and tangle up with you real tight
D
The only thing that's separating you and me tonight
          C#m
Ah, is an ocean of tears
F#m
Oh my god I wanna know what it feels like
G
Just an inch away from living the dream life
D
The only thing that's separating you and me tonight
          C#m
Ah, is an ocean of tears

Show me the future
Yeah, I'm all eyes
Tell me you're ready (I'm ready)
Pulse was rising and racing and racing and racing
But it's a long ride
Tell me you're ready

Chorus

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Someone stop me, I'm coming down
Ooh, ooh
Someone stop me, I'm coming down
Ooh, ooh


Show me the fu-fu-fu-, fu-fu-
Yeah, all eyes
