 A           E             A
If I had a clue I'd know exactly what to do
D              E             A
If I were the wiser of the two
 A              E
And if I saw it all so clear
     A
I'd write it down and bend your ear
D              E            A
If I were the wiser of the two

 E                             A
We could take a walk into the canyons of 5th avenue
 E                             A
Sing and dance just to name a few

Chorus:
F   G  A
All I do
All I do

If I heard the angels sing
I'd sing it back to you and bring the
Sound of heaven ringing just for you
And if I saw the sun fall down
I'd pick it up and make a crown
One that was a perfect fit for you

We could take a walk
into the apple orchard by the school
We could make a little residue
We could find a place to stay,
a secret little hideaway
Spend a little time inside of you

Chorus

F     E
All eyes
F     E
All eyes
F    E       Dm
All eyes on you
F      Dm
All I do
F      Dm
All I do
F      Dm
All I do
F      Dm
All I do
