Am C G D
[Verse 1]
GWhen was the last time iCt was just us two.
EmThis busy world gives us an endless Dlist of things to do.
GI wish there was a place we could Cgo just me and you,
Emneed to carve out precious time despite aDll we're going through.
[Pre-Chorus]
AmCall and say that you're ill Cthere's no medicine to fill.
GThis love sick void of Dmine.
[Chorus]
Let's just turn the wAmorld off like a SuCnday.
All we gotta Gdo is work our Dbodies.
Underneath these shAmeets there are no wCorries.
When the world outside is sGcary, ohDhh, baby you're my sanctuary.
[Interlude] 
Am C
Baby you're my sanctuaryG.D  
[Verse 2]
GWhen was the last time we wCent out for a meal and
