[F#] captivated, [E] I'll hang [F#] from your lips, [B] instead of the gallows [F#] of honey that hang from [G#m] above.
[F#]

from mountains, thrust towards the sky, never revealing [F#] their [E] depth.
[F#] me [E] that we belong [F#] together, [B] dress it [F#] down [E] with the trappings of [F#] love.
