[INTRO]
      Emaj7       Amaj7Oh, la, la, la, la, Emaj7la
     Amaj7Yeah, yeah
[VERSE 1]
Emaj7We danced and sang Amaj7somewhere in between heaven and Emaj7hell
Gabrielle, that was Amaj7her name
Emaj7Everyone was smiling, Amaj7even through their tears, under a Emaj7spell
But in Gabby's eyes, Amaj7nothing
Emaj7I asked do you not like the Amaj7music?
She said it's Emaj7alright
But she dances to her Amaj7own sad tune, she said
[CHORUS]
Emaj7Take me away from Amaj7here
Emaj7Take me somewhere where Amaj7love is like breathing
Emaj7I don't care where we go as Amaj7long as I'm there with Emaj7you, baby
ELong as I'm there with Amaj7you
[VERSE 2]
Emaj7I could tell, she's been through pain Amaj7I could only dream
Emaj7Nightmares to live where you Amaj7live
Emaj7Tears well in her eyes, but she Amaj7wouldn't let them fall
Emaj7I'd give the world to know where her smile Amaj7is
I asked Emaj7will you dance with me now
Amaj7Let me try to figure out
The Emaj7fastest round out of town and she says
[CHORUS]
Emaj7Take me away from Amaj7here
Emaj7Take me somewhere, where Amaj7love is like breathing
Emaj7I don't care where we go, Amaj7long as I'm there with Emaj7you baby
[CHORUS]
Emaj7Take me away from Amaj7here
Emaj7Take me somewhere, where Amaj7love is like breathing
Emaj7I don't care where we go, Amaj7long as I'm there with Emaj7you baby
[CHORUS]
Come on and Emaj7take me away from Amaj7here
Emaj7Take me somewhere, where Amaj7love is like breathing
Emaj7I don't care where we go Amaj7long as I'm there with Emaj7youuuuu
