Just your love, just your shadow
Just your voice, and my soul
G#m            F#
Just your love,  just your shadow
C#m            G#m
Just your voice,  and my soul

           G#m                    F#
(Just your lips)  My name on your lips,
                C#m                 G#m
your air in my lungs, drowned in oxygen
G#m                  F#                  C#m
Now you've set the scene, high on intimacy,
            G#m
drawing me above

G#m        F#                           C#m  G#m
Ooh ooh-ooh, I don't wanna know the way down
G#m        F#                           C#m  G#m
Ooh ooh-ooh, I don't wanna know the way down

Chorus:
G#m                             F#
(Just your love) I just want it all
(just your shadow)
C#m                            G#m
Just your voice (I just want it all)
and my soul
      G#m                        F#
In my head, in my veins, in the way
you give and take
       C#m                       G#m
In the way that you weigh, on my body,
on my brain

Chemistry is rare in a two, three–time affair
There's no guarantees
Working through the seasons,
pressed up against the ceiling
Pushing down on me

Ooh, ooh
I don't wanna know the way down
Ooh, ooh
I don't wanna know the way down

Chorus

Just your neck
Just your eyes
Just your desire
Just your love and my soul
Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
I don't wanna know the way down
