C#m
Floating here like this with you
Underneath the stars alight
     B
For 13 billion years the view
                                  A
It's beautiful, and ours alone tonight
                 E
Underneath the stars

Spinning round and round with you
Watching shadows melt the light
Soft shining from our eyes
Into another space
Is ours alone tonight
Watching shadows melt

     A      E
The waves break
The waves break

Whisper in my ear a wish
"We could drift away"
Held tight
Your voice inside of my head
The kiss is infinite
And ours alone tonight
"We could drift away"

Flying here like this with you
Underneath the stars
Alight for 13 billion years
The view is beautiful
And ours alone tonight
Underneath the stars
Underneath the stars
Underneath the stars

And everything gone
And all still to come
It's nothing to us
Together as one
In each other's arms
So near and so far
Forever as now
Underneath the stars

        A      E
As the waves break
