18th Floor

[Em7]I got a love, [C]glistens in the moonlight
[G]East side of the city [D]where it's a little less bright
[Em7]And I don't usually [C]fall hard but this time
[G]I'm burning up like bare [D]feet on concrete in the summertime
[Em7]When it was our time, [C]we go hand in hand
[G]And fell asleep with the stars [D]and the waves on the sand
[Em7]Felt like another land [C]that I would never understand
[G]Getting dizzy [D]in my head
[Em7]But it came to a halt [C]within a minute or two when
[G]Your time was up, your [D]motherland, she was calling for you
[Em7]You packed up your [C]bags, tied up your shoes
[G]Locked pinkies together and [D]said, "I'll see you soon"
[Em7]I know that you wanna [C]go high and so do I
[G]So we'll keep this [D]alive, keep this alive, yeah
[Em7]You said that you wanna [C]go far and so will I
[G]So we'll shoot for the [D]stars, shoot for the stars, yeah
[Em7]It's good to leave, [C]to love a little more
[G]She's been skipping my breath, [D]she doesn't even know it yet
[Em7]And how many times can [C]I say that I miss you?
[G]Not really something that I [D]wanna get used to but
[Em7]I've been thinking 'bout the days [C]to come, we'd lay in the sun
[G]Waking up late for [D]the coffee run and
[Em7]A couple words that are sitting [C]on the tip of my tongue
[G]I'm breathing easy but I'm getting [D]kind of heavy in my lungs
[Em7]I know that you wanna [C]go high and so do I
[G]So we'll keep this [D]alive, keep this alive, yeah
[Em7]You said that you wanna [C]go far and so will I
[G]So we'll shoot for the [D]stars, shoot for the stars, yeah
[Em7]And now we're here, [C]sitting on your bedroom floor
[G]I feel like I'm high, [D]somewhere on the 18th floor
[Em7]Was that a metaphor? [C]Well I'm not really sure
[G]But all I know is that [D]it's you honey that I adore and
[Em7]Right hands got a ticket [C]to fly over the Pacific
[G]And you wouldn't [D]wanna miss it
[Em7]'Cause I miss your coastal [C]kisses when I'm feeling low
[G]Somewhere back [D]at home
[Em7]I'll sneak some of your [C]love in checked baggage below
[G]And I don't really know [D]how long it's gonna take
[Em7]For this world of ours [C]to clean up its mistakes
[G]But we'll sit and wait, [D]yeah we'll sit and wait
[Em7]'Cause on the horizon I [C]can see the better days, yeah
[G]♪
[D]I know that you wanna [Em7]go high and so do I
[C]So we'll keep this [G]alive, keep this alive, yeah
[D]You said that you wanna [Em7]go far and so will I
[C]So we'll shoot for the [G]stars, shoot for the stars, yeah
[D]Oh-oh-oh
