[Chorus]
If Emaj9I could traE7sus2vel through tAmaj7ime, I think IEmaj9  
Would Emaj9tell myself E7sus2from the paAmaj7st, "You'll be fEmaj9ine"
[Verse]
But what you don't C#7sus2know is the fun part of passion
And its the D#m7place where I think all the D#7b9fun begins
What yoF#m7u don't see is what you believe
But to F#m7be is the place where the angels dance
What you don't C#7sus2hear is the voice of fear
When you D#m7get passed that is when your D#7b9life appears
What yoF#m7u don't touch is what you won't clutch
But you'll C#7sus2latch on tight B7when the coast is clear
[Chorus]
If Emaj9I could traE7sus2vel through tAmaj7ime, I think IEmaj9  
Would Emaj9tell myself E7sus2from the paAmaj7st, "You'll be fEmaj9ine"
