[Intro]
  A    Dx4
[Verse 1]
Stopped me on the Acorner, swear you hit me like a Dvision
I-I-I wasn't exApecting
But who am I Eto tell fate where it's supposed to go Awith it?
Don't you blink, you might Dmiss it
See we got a right to just Alove it or leave it, you find it and keep it
'Cause Eit ain't every day you get the chance to say
[Chorus]
AOh, this is how it staDrts, lightning strikes the hAeart
It goes off like a guEn, brighter than the sun
AOh, we could be the stDars, falling from the skF#my
                    EN.C.
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun
[Interlude]
  A    Dx2
[Verse 2]
I'd never Aseen it, but I found this love, I wanna Dfeed it
You better believe I'm gonna Atreat it better than anything I've eEver had
ARead it, it's signed and delivered, let's Dseal it
Boy, we go together like Apeanuts and paydays, Marley and reggae
And Eeverybody needs to get a chance to say
[Chorus]
AOh, this is how it staDrts, lightning strikes the hAeart
It goes off like a guEn, brighter than the sun
AOh, we could be the stDars, falling from the skF#my

Shining how we want, brighter than the sun
