A#    C        D   Em
Going under slowly
   Em
It never seems too late
A#    C       D  Em
Going under slow

C                   A#
I'm dressing up to kiss
C                   A#
I'm dressing up to touch all this

I'm dressing up to dance all week
I'm dressing up to sleep

C               A#
Dressing up to kiss
C               A#
Dressing up to be all this

A#                Am
I could eat your face
A#       Am
I could eat all of you

Oh this night will never let me go

Going under slowly
Ah, never seems too late
Going under slow, oh
You'll pick me up again
