Am
Back then it almost felt,
F
Heaven sent
C
With slow dancing models
E
In a child's ornament
Am F
Kept spinning our heads full of stars

F C

E Am

F E Am
Maybe it was a dream, and I just woke up

Am F

Seems her words are the only way
E
To mend her broken heart

C
Like the end of a western

F E Am
I said tell me yourself, we can go when you feel right
F CE Am F CE

Am F
And the ocean rose on like a dream
C E
And into the distance, forever it seems
