[Verse 1]
CI looked up and saw you in the doorway
AmIt was with a start that blue met blue
EmI turned away and thought nothing more Amof it
EmLater, I understood that it was Cyou
[Verse 2]
CIt was cool and shaded in the graveyard
AmWe walked out amidst her fallen tribes
EmIt was clear not a word needed be Amspoken
EmI took a chance and glanced into your Dmeyes
[Chorus]
And my Ambody left the ground
DmEverything was light, we were Cfloating without Emsound
You and DmI were sAmuspended with the stars
DmEverything was bright, and the Cuniverse was Gours
[Verse 3]
CHighway stretched out endlessly before us
AmIt was with routine that blue met blue
EmAll at once i swerved and we were Amfalling
EmInto the water, down into the Dmgloom
[Chorus]
And then I watched as your Ambody left the ground
DmEverything went light, we were Cfloating without Emsound
DmYou and i were Amsuspended with the stars
DmEverything was bright and the Cuniverse was Gours

[Verse 1]

I looked up and saw you in the doorway

It was with a start that blue met blue

Em Am

I turned away and thought nothing more of it

Em C

Later, I understood that it was you

[Verse 2]

It was cool and shaded in the graveyard

We walked out amidst her fallen tribes

Em Am

It was clear not a word needed be spoken

Em Dm

I took a chance and glanced into your eyes

[Chorus]

And my body left the ground

Dm C Em

Everything was light, we were floating without sound

Dm Am

You and I were suspended with the stars

Dm C G

Everything was bright, and the universe was ours

[Verse 3]

Highway stretched out endlessly before us

It was with routine that blue met blue

Em Am

All at once i swerved and we were falling

Em Dm

Into the water, down into the gloom

[Chorus]

And then I watched as your body left the ground

Dm C Em

Everything went light, we were floating without sound

Dm Am

You and i were suspended with the stars

Dm C G

Everything was bright and the universe was ours

[Bridge]

Am C Em

Ohohoh Ohohoh Ohohoh Ohohoh Ohohhh I Ohohhh I

Am C Em Dm

Ohohoh Ohohoh Ohohoh Ohohoh Ohohhh I will never forget the way it was

[Chorus]

When our bodies left the ground

Dm C G

Everything was light, we were floating without sound

Dm Am

You and I were suspended with the stars

Dm C Em Am

Everything was bright and the universe was ours
