Tuned down half a step.
One, two, three, four
GUnderneath the lilac tree, I close my eyes and suddenly
CI'm ten years old and running through, An open field chasing after you
GSounds of summer fill my ears, If I live 10,000 years
CI'll never feel as good as this, Moments before our first kiss
EmThere is nothing to demand, No algebra to understand
AmJust sunlight on a freckled fD7ace
AmAnd everything in iCts right plD7ace
GSimple things turn magical, Minutes freeze like Popsicles
CAnd drip their seconds down our shirts, I love you so much it hurts
GThere's no such thing as real time, I've been yours and you've been mine
CAnd we've lived ever happily, Everywhere I've been you've been with me
EmThere is nothing to control, No question mark left on our souls
AmJust sunlight on a freckled fD7ace
EmThere is nothing to demand, No politics to understand
AmJust sunlight on a freckled faD7ce
AmEverything in its right plD7ace
AmEverything in iCts right plD7ace
(Arpeggiating)
GAnd I want to give you a brand new sD7ky
Something so opGen, it brings tears to your eyD7es
So clear and so preGsent, it doesn't seem reD7al
I want to show yGou how you make me feD7el
GI want to give you a brand new drD7eam
Where two horses drink Gfrom a silver streD7am
As the trees catch fiGre they lift their heD7ads
And bolt together through the foGrest across our bD7eds
GI want to bring you the fields of flD7owers
I want to buGild you Eiffel TowD7ers
Take the clouds in the eveGning, turn 'em into stD7ars
And drop 'em like keGys through your prison bD7ars
Set you free, yeah

Tuned down half a step.

One, two, three, four

Underneath the lilac tree, I close my eyes and suddenly

I'm ten years old and running through, An open field chasing after you

Sounds of summer fill my ears, If I live 10,000 years

I'll never feel as good as this, Moments before our first kiss

There is nothing to demand, No algebra to understand

Am D7

Just sunlight on a freckled face

Am C D7

And everything in its right place

Simple things turn magical, Minutes freeze like Popsicles

And drip their seconds down our shirts, I love you so much it hurts

There's no such thing as real time, I've been yours and you've been mine

And we've lived ever happily, Everywhere I've been you've been with me

There is nothing to control, No question mark left on our souls

Am D7

Just sunlight on a freckled face

There is nothing to demand, No politics to understand

Am D7

Just sunlight on a freckled face

Am D7

Everything in its right place

Am C D7

Everything in its right place

(Arpeggiating)

G D7

And I want to give you a brand new sky

G D7

Something so open, it brings tears to your eyes

G D7

So clear and so present, it doesn't seem real

G D7

I want to show you how you make me feel

G D7

I want to give you a brand new dream

G D7

Where two horses drink from a silver stream

G D7

As the trees catch fire they lift their heads

G D7

And bolt together through the forest across our beds

G D7

I want to bring you the fields of flowers

G D7

I want to build you Eiffel Towers

G D7

Take the clouds in the evening, turn 'em into stars

G D7

And drop 'em like keys through your prison bars

Set you free, yeah
