DIt's five paAst drBMeams, I GshDouAld be home asleep,
 F#mBut I BMjust want to keep Gthis moDment alive, it's just you and I,
And I Emcan't deAny that DI've hBMad too much to drink tonight,
But eveGrybDody's gAone, and F#mwe're still going sBmtrong,
Thinking of bGed, dancing insDtead, you're lovely in rEmed;
And we are mAoving cheek to chGeek, and I kDnow that EmI'm with
The only oAne who makes it riGght, it's in your eDyes, and your sEmmile,
And the waAy you look tonigDht;
DIt's fiAve past dBmreams, the worGld is waDking Aup, just F#mlike I should
Have dBmone a long time aGgo, maybe I'm Dslow, I just didn't kEmnow,
That the savAiour of my heGart is right heDre, in my aEmrms, you are
The oAne who makes it riGght with your eyDes, and your smEmile,
And the waAy you look tonighDt;
[D, D, G, A,] [D, D, G, A,] G  
And I knoDw that I'm wEmith the only oAne who makes it rigGht,
It's in your eDyes, and your Emsmile, and the wAay you look tonGight;
With your eyDes, and the wEmay you look tAonight.

And I can't deny that I've had too much to drink tonight,

And the way you look tonight;

It's five past dreams, the world is waking up, just like I should

That the saviour of my heart is right here, in my arms, you are
