[Verse]
FMy love Amin the dream, Gyou were already Fspeaking
FI was too Amshocked to make any Goneof my tiredsFpeeches
GListen, that's a Frare thing forme
FSunlight Amtouches on the Gplants that I've been Ftorturing
FYet when AmI come over I Glove that quick dFelay before your face Galights in recogFnition
[Chorus]
I know there is Gmlove that doesn't have to Cdo with taking something Ffrom AmsomeboDdy
Was so much for me Gmnot real?
I only managed to stay Csmall by making giants out of Fstrangers
Through the chaos I can Dsee
       Dm                                      C(C7)
All afternoon you inhale every bouquet you meet
[Verse]
FCome to think of Amit
The dream was a Gnightmare with no one who Fknew me just then
FYou were there
Two-foot Amtall little bear
You Gtook my hand and iFntroduced me to GeverybFody
I wGatched as you were named on that mid-February Fmorning
[Chorus]
                           Gm(G)                                  C       F      E  D#
