D#             G#                          A#
I could spray paint 'I love you' on that bridge
           Cm
or in the sky,
D#           G#
and I could swear when you say it to me,
           A#                Cm
there's a good chance I can fly
       Fm
And I might, it seems like, yeah,
         A#
if it's gonna be any night, might as well be tonight

There's this thing that you do
You don't know that it does something to me, yeah
It's in the way that you sway, that you talk,
that you touch
That you kiss, that you breathe
That I need, you look at me, girl
You're shaking things up like you wouldn't believe
Crashing my comfort zone, setting me free
It's a "who'da thought?", "never dream" kinda thing

Chorus:
D#         G#                 A#              Cm
Your name, your name, sounds so good next to mine,
just sayin'
D#           G#                  A#           Cm
and I think, I think, I'm gonna put it in all my
rhymes, baby.
D#              G#
cause with you, I'm gonna do,
        A#                Cm
quite a few things that I never thought I would do.
G#                     A#
Your name, your name, your name,
                D#    G# A# Cm
would be a good tattoo
                D#    G# A# Cm
Would be a good tattoo

Ink it in on my skin, sign me up, make it last
against the time
'Cause this is more than a picture that fades
of a first date Friday night
It's unerasable, unmistakable, hey, everybody
wants to know
Now I think I know, I'll wear it on my sleeve,
I gotta let it show
Making it permanent 'cause I never wanna let you go

Chorus:
Your name, your name sounds so good next to mine,
just saying
And I think, I think I'm gonna put it in
all my rhymes, baby
'Cause with you, I'm gonna do quite a few
things that I never thought I would do
Your name, your name, your name
Would be a good tattoo, yeah

D# G#
All my life, all I got is this one heart to give,
A#Cm
all my life, all this time, I've been searching
for this.
D# G#
And it looks like I found it, yeah
     Fm
I've finally found it, girl it's you, ooh.

Chorus:
Your name, your name sounds so good next to mine
And I think, I think I'm gonna put it
in all my rhymes, yeah
'Cause with you, I'm gonna do quite
a few things that I never thought I would do
Your name, your name, your name
Would be a good tattoo, yeah
Would be a good tattoo

Only you, baby
Only you, no
Only you, now
