Am
I get swept away
Cmaj7
When I think of you
Am
Take me to that place
      Em
Where it's control I lose
    Am                              Cmaj7
I'm soothed by you, you take it all away
  Am                                           Em
I lose to you, surrendered at the start of the game
Am
I'll never deceive
           Em         Am
Right here I’ll always be

Hide away, I hide away with you
I let the world just slip away
I'm left with you
You light up the sky
Un-shadow the moon
The moments we've shared
Always ended too soon
Part of you stays a while
Even when you're far away
How so far away, yet you feel so near
