Gm              Dm               C
There's an old song I wrote for you,
                                   Gm
it was everything you'd want it to be
Gm       Dm                    C
A melody lifts, A minor chord fall,
                             Gm
it was timeless like you and me
Gm            Dm            C
And when the Chorus hit it felt like flyin'
Gm           Dm              C
It would've played at every wedding night,
and it went like

Chorus:
A#         F                C
You are my one, you set my world on fire
A#              F             C
I know there's Heaven but we must be higher
A#         F                C
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
               Gm   Dm
Forever we'll last,
                 C
I think it went something like that

There's an old song I wrote for you
I would play it for all of our friends
It would make 'em all dance, it'd make 'em all cry
When it's over they said, "Play it again"

I would have sang it to you soft and sweet
You'd want it every anniversary
And it went like

Chorus:
You are my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's Heaven but we must be higher
(We must be higher)
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that

D#                            A#
Why'd you have to mess it all up?
                               F
why'd you have to burn it all down?
F
The words were so perfect,
the world should've heard it, I sang every line
     D#                             A#
Out loud, Why'd you have to mess it all up?
                          F
why'd you have to burn it all down?
F
Should've played on the radio, day after day
                                   D#
'til they say that it's all played out
D# A# C
       And it went like

Chorus:
You are my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's Heaven, but we must be higher
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that

Forever we'll last
I think it went something like that
