F#m                    Bm
When was the last time it was just us two?
C#7                                 F#m
This busy world gives us an endless list
of things to do
F#m                               Bm
I wish there was a place we could go,
just me and you
        C#7
Need to carve out precious time despite
F#m
all we're going through

Bm
Call and say that you're ill
        C#7
There's no medicine to fill
F#m                    A
This lovesick void of mine

Chorus:
                     D               Bm
Let's just turn the world off like a Sunday
              F#m            E
All we gonna do is work our bodies
                   D                  Bm
Underneath these sheets, there are no worries
                            F#m  E
When the world outside is scary, oh
                      D  Bm
Baby, you're my sanctuary
                     F#m E
Baby, you're my sanctuary

When was the last time we went out for a meal
And drunk too much to forget about
work and how it makes us feel?
We can wake up to reality when our
hearts have healed
But for now this isolation,
it couldn't be more ideal

Call and say that you're ill
There's no medicine to fill
This lovesick void of mine
And now that we've found our space
To feed each other's embrace
We can leave our troubles behind

Chorus

When the world outside is scary
Baby, you're my sanctuary

F#m
In your room, all time, it stops
A
And everything else, I forgot
Bm
Oh, when you leave it starts again
C#7
We can't just pretend

Chorus

(You are my sanctuary)
When the world outside is scary
(You are my sanctuary)
Baby, you're my sanctuary (You are my sanctuary)
