We might kiss we are alone

nobody's watching

I might take you home
 G7M                 D     G7M                 D 
We might make out when nobody's there
 G7M                             D 
It's not that we're scared
                                         A 
It's just that it's delicate

With the words you've borrowed
                   G7M                         D 
From the only place you've known
         G7M 
And why do you sing Hallelujah
             D 
If it means nothing to you

Why do you sing with me at all?

We might make love in some sacred place
                                                   A 
The look on your face is delicate
