[Chorus]
ToFm9night your body's mine, you know just what I'm thinking of
When the Dbsus2lights go down low, when the lights go down low
If we Fm9open up our hearts to feel it passing through
When the Dbsus2lights go down low, When the lights go down low
[Verse 2]
  Fm9We need each other Abmore than C7sus4ever,
  Fm9Like a stepping stone Abacross thC7sus4e sea
  Fm9And I think you know we've Abwaited too C7sus4long for love
  Dbmaj7Don't let your Ebdreams Bbm7keep you from believing we Ebdon't Fmknow what we can do

If we Fm9open up our hearts to feel it passing through
When the Dbsus2lights go down low, When the lights go down low
[Bridge]

  Bbm7In the Cm7night
[Chorus]
ToFm9night your body's mine, I know just what I'm thinking of
When the Dbsus2lights go down low, when the lights go down low
If we Fm9open up our hearts to feel it passing through
When the Dbsus2lights go down low, When the lights go down low
[Chorus]
ToFm9night your body's mine, I know just what I'm thinking of
When the Dbsus2lights go down low, when the lights go down low
