[A] [C#m] Elevators in [D] your eyes
I have [A] found
Wow, [C#m] you look [D] me up
And you look me [A] down
Now [C#m] I've run [Bm] the risk
[D] Sound like I want [A] some more
When [C#m] I tell [D] you, baby
It's better than what [A] I was before
[C#m] It's [Bm] [D] better than what I [A] was before
No [C#m] one speak [D] in your language
What they [A] know
Told [C#m] me that [D] you're anxious
[C#m] You seem [D] let go
[C#m] [D] [Bm]
[F#m] I'm [E] swept up [D] in moments
[E] When [B] you [F#m] took [C#m] yourself to [Bm] the moon
[D] [C#m] Sunlight dies in the [D] dark
And I see you
Talks in [Bm] the afternoon
[D] Talks in [E] the [Bm] afternoon
Talk [E]

[A] [C#m] [D]
[A] slow, [D] dear
[F#m] Your words are [A] like runners
[C#m] Who've built [Bm] their careers
[F#m] On a promise to deliver [A] the gold
[C#m] Can you [Bm] feel it coming?
[D] I wanna comfort [A] you
[C#m] While you [D] leave your hair
[C#m] And your body [D] too
[C#m] [E] [Bm]
[D] I'm [C#m] swept [Bm] up in moments
When you [D] took [C#m] yourself [E] to [Bm] the moon
[D] [C#m] Sunlight [Bm] dies in [D] the dark
And I see you
Talks [Em] in the afternoon
