     C            Am                             F

1. Elevator buttons and morning air,

        C                         Am                                       F 

    strangers‘ silence makes me wanna take the stairs.

         C                             Am                        F 

    If you were here, we‘d laugh about their vacant stares,

                    C     - G                       F  

    but right now,         my time is theirs.

 

                 C                            Am                              F

2. Seems like there‘s always someone who disapproves,

                C                          Am                           F

    they‘ll judge it like they know  about me and you.

                     C                            Am                        F

     And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do,

                      C   - G                              F     - G

    the jury‘s out,        but my choice is you.

 

        F                                G

So don‘t you worry your pretty little mind,

   Am                                                               F               G             Am

people throw rocks at things that shine, and life makes love look hard.

                           F                        G                                C

The stakes are high, the waters rough, but this love is ours.

 

+  C - Am - F (2x)

 

             C                          Am                             F

2. You never know what people have up their sleeves,

         C                             Am                         F

    ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me,

      C                    Am                       F  

    lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles,

                       C    - G                                         F      - G

    but I don‘t care,      ‘cause right now you‘re mine.

 

                          F                                G

And you’ll say, don‘t you worry your pretty little mind,

   Am                                                               F               G             Am

people throw rocks at things that shine, and life makes love look hard.

                           F                        G                                C

The stakes are high, the waters rough, but this love is ours.

 

+  C - Am - F (2x)

 

    Am                                          F                 G

+      And it‘s not theirs to speculate, if it‘s wrong and

Am                                                            F                 G

    your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong, and

Am                                                          F                   G            F     - G

    I‘ll fight their doubt and give you my faith with this song for you.

 

    C                  Am                          F

3.     I love the gap between your teeth,

C                         Am                        F

    and I love the riddles that you speak,

                     C                                 Am                F  

    and any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos

                     C     - G                       F        - G

    will be ignored,       my heart is yours.

 

    F                                G

Don‘t you worry your pretty little mind,

   Am                                                               F               G             Am

people throw rocks at things that shine, and life makes love look hard.

   F                                G

Don‘t you worry your pretty little mind,

   Am

people throw rocks at things that shine,

          F            G               Am       F           G                Am

but they can‘t take what‘s ours, they can‘t take what‘s ours.

                           F                        G                                C

The stakes are high, the waters rough, but this love is ours.
