F#This could be forever, baby
G#mThis could be forever, baby

F#maj7This could be forever, maybe
Do you like the suF#nshine, do you like the snow?
Do you wanna tG#malk about it, or be alone?
I think that you should kBnow that, this could be forever, bF#maj7aby
[Verse 1]
F#Open up your eyes and tell me whatcha thinkin'
G#mOpen up your mind, and tell me whatcha seein'
Inside of mF#e, why we fussin', fuckin' up this evenin'
I probG#mably couldn't fix it if I knew the reason
Up on the sF#ea, where I see you fallin' in the deep end
Is it loG#mve? I would really love to know the meanin'
What's the gF#rudge that you're holdin'?
Hold my hand let me take you to the lG#mand
Where the ocean and the sands are meetin'
Look at the sF#un, all we need to see to know our freedom
Open G#mup your heart, if we don't love then we fall apart
[Chorus 2]
F#This could be forever, baby
I G#mnever seen you wetter, baby
Than when the tBears fall
Soakin' up your sweater, baby
I didn't mF#maj7ean harm
Don't make me regret it, baby
[Bridge]
'Cause if I nF#ever knew ya, I could never do this to ya
Hope you undeG#mrstand, they never taught me how to be a man
OBnly how to be a shooter, I onF#maj7ly need the time to prove it
[Chorus 3]
'Cause F#this could be forever, baby
TG#mhis could be forever, baby

[Verse 2]
My teacF#hers told me we was slaves
My maG#mma told me we was kings
I doF#n't know who to listen to
I gG#muess we somewhere in between
My fBeelings told me love is real
But fF#maj7eelings known to get you killed
I feF#el as if I'm misconstrued
I sG#mpend my moments missin' you
I'm seBarchin' for atonement
Do I blame my darker tone?
I know somF#maj7ethings are better left unsaid
And people left alone
Pick up the pF#hone
Don't leave me alone in this cG#mruel, cruel world

Is it love? I would really love to know the meanin'

What's the grudge that you're holdin'?

Hold my hand let me take you to the land

Where the ocean and the sands are meetin'

Look at the sun, all we need to see to know our freedom

I guess we somewhere in between

My feelings told me love is real

But feelings known to get you killed

I feel as if I'm misconstrued

G#m

I spend my moments missin' you

I'm searchin' for atonement

Do I blame my darker tone?

F#maj7

I know somethings are better left unsaid

And people left alone

Pick up the phone

G#m

Don't leave me alone in this cruel, cruel world

[Outro]
