GI wanna be a famous singer, would you be my bDand
CTravel the world together, you can hold my Emhand
CrosGsing cracks from the airplane to the terminDal gate
HoCpe we're meant for each other, hope that love is Emour fate

CAPO 4

G D

I wanna be a famous singer, would you be my band

C Em

Travel the world together, you can hold my hand

G D

Crossing cracks from the airplane to the terminal gate

C Em

Hope we're meant for each other, hope that love is our fate

G D

Life feels like a whirlwind, been watching paint dry

C Em

Can't steady the current no matter how hard I try

G D

We could all use an anchor, you're not afraid of the sea

C Em

Let's both dive in together, put your hooks in me

Boy, you really got me after birthday cake

Making out on my friend's new couch

So call me any night, any day of the week

I wanna learn what you're all about

And I know I'm far away but this is just the start

And if we make it past the first little part

We could fly around the world in the very same plane

G D

We could share a life, share a name

Em D

Mmm mm mm mm mm mmmm mm mmmm x2

G D

I wanna live in New York City when I'm old and gray

C Em

You say you're gonna come visit me, see a Broadway play

G D

Snow has just started falling

C Em

I hope you'll come around soon

G D

My apartment is tiny

C Em

But I think there's enough room for you

Yeah, boy you really got me after birthday cake

Making love on my friend's spare bed

And I can't seem to shake walking Echo Park Lake

Or get your face out of my head

And I know I'm far away but this is just the start

But if we make it past the first little part

We could fly around the world in the very same plane

G D

We could share a life, share a name

Em D

Mmm mm mm mm mm mmmm mm mmmm x2

G D

Am I saying too much way too soon

Well my only confidant is this empty room

And my only response is the echo in my voice

When I'm falling in love it's like I have no choice

From my heart to my throat to my lips to the air

I don't wish for much, but I wish you were here

We need to check this out

G D

I'm not into playing games but I do fight to win

And, boy you really got me after birthday cake

Making love on my friend's spare bed

And I can't seem to shake walking Echo Park Lake

Or get your face out of my head

And I know I'm far away but this is just the start

And if we make it past the first little part

We could fly around the world in the very same plane

G D

We could share a life, share a name

E D

Mmm mm mm mm mm mmmm mm mmmm x2

Mmm mmm
