Chorus:
D                   Em
You and me are the world, she said
Nothing else is real
The two of us is all there is
The rest is just a dream

        D                  Em
Always meant to be, I can feel it
Like a destiny thing written in the stars
Inescapable fate, yeah, it's out of my hands
Falling into your arms

    Bm                  C
And I don't want to get innocent
       D                         C
But I would love you to take my time
We're on the edge of a beautiful thing, she said
Come on, let's stay here for awhile

D/F# Em             G        D
Ooh girl, he is the one for sure
Ooh girl, he is the perfect boy

     D/F#              G
Yeah, me and you are a world, he said
    D/F#                   Em
But not the only one I need
The two of us is never all there is
That doesn't happen for real

If it was meant to be us, it was meant to be now
Don't see the sense in wasting time
If you're so sure about this
(Long kismet hearty thing)
You know tonight you're mine
And I don't want to get obvious
But I have to be gone by three
We're on the edge of a beautiful thing, he said
So come on, jump with me

Ooh girl, he's not the one for sure
Ooh girl, he's not so wonderful
Ooh girl, he's not the one for sure
Ooh girl, he's not the perfect boy at all

Chorus:
You and me are the world, she said
Nothing else is real
The two of us is all there is
The rest is just a dream

And her heart may be broken a hundred times
But the hurt will never destroy
Her hope, the happy ever after girl
One day finds the perfect boy
