G#
I feel you glowing in the dark
Cm
When I collapse into your arms
A#                          Fm
I'm just a stranger in the stars

       G#
Cause somehow it seems when I am with you
     Cm
That all of my dreams begin to come true
    A#                      Fm
And carefully you carry me away

Chorus:
G#         Cm                 A#
I've never felt so wide awake
Fm
'Cause I'm wonder struck
G#              Cm                 A#
I love how you take my breath away
Fm
I'm thunderstruck
G#               Cm                  A#
To tell you the truth, I'm so afraid
(I'm so afraid)
Fm
That I'm out of luck
G#              Cm                 A#
I love how you take my breath away
(Take my breath away)
Fm
I'm thunderstruck

I chase the phantoms down the hall
I felt the floorboards rise and fall
I lost and never loved at all

I find in the days when you're in my dreams
The orchestra plays the prettiest themes
And carefully you carry me away

Chorus

Woah, I'm over the moon tonight (All of my dreams)
         A#
(Oh, and my dreams are shattered)
         G#
'Cause somehow it seems (when I am with you)
     Cm
That all of my dreams (begin to come true)
    A#                      Fm
And carefully you carry me away

    D#/G     G#   A# Cm
You take my breath away
     D#/G     G#        A#     Cm
When I'm with you (when I'm with you)

And all my dreams
        A#            Cm         Fm D#/G
Oh, and my dreams are shattered
      G#         A#
(When I look at you)
    Fm         D#/G
My dreams are shattered
      G#         A#
(When I look at you)
