Am C#m When I look into your eyes. G Your drop like an anchor eyes. F I scudded and clipped the sky E Am Just shy of making it. And you almost got away, I told you I was afraid Did I really want to try, you're holding me to my claim Chorus: Bm I jump on a high speed train D I'll never look back again F I flail like the antelope E Who jumped from the building And you caught me on the sly You've taken me by surprise You've mirrored my best disguise and Turned it back on me Chorus - x2 I'll bring you a big bouquet I picked it myself today It compliments your eyes There's love at the end of the line Chorus - x2 Bm And that's what I always knew D I'd like to have hung the moon. F I'd wrestle you for a spoon inside E your sleeping bag. F Just us. E No war. no hate. no past. F It's real. E I'm here. I'm yours. I'm fast. F I'm long in the eye E I'm cry when I try Am I just want to fly Just you and I, together You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C#m  D  E  F  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
