A#5 You know I want you,
it’s not a secret I try to hide.
A#5 I know you want me,
so don’t keep sayin’ our handsA#sus are tied.
Fadd4 You claim it’s not in the Gm7cards
and fate is pullin’ you D#sus2miles away
and out of reach from me,Fadd4
But you’re here in my Gm7heart
so who can stop me if D#sus2I decide,
that you’re my destiny?
What if we Gm7rewrite the D#sus2stars,
say you were A#made to be F/Amine,
nothing could Gm7keep us aD#sus2part,
you’d be the A#one I was meant to Ffind.
It’s up to Gm7you… and it’s up to D#sus2me,
no one can A#say what we get to F/Abe.
So why don’t we Gmrewrite the D#stars,
maybe the A#world could be Fours…
tonight.
A# Cm7 Gm Fadd4
A#sus2 You think A#it’s easy, A#sus A#sus2
you think A#I don’t wanna run A#sus to you. A#sus
But there A#are mountains A#sus A#sus
and there A#are doors that we can’t A#suswalk through. A#
Fadd4 I know you’re wondering Gm7why
because we’re able to D#sus2be
just you and me within these Fadd4walls.
But when we go outGm7side
you’re gonna wake up and D#sus2see
that it was hopeless after all. D#5 D#sus2
No one can Gm7rewrite the D#sus2stars,
how can you A#say you’ll be F/Amine,
everything Gm7keeps us aD#sus2part
and I’m not the A#one you were meant to Ffind.
It’s not up to Gm7you… it’s not up to D#sus2me,
when everyone A#tells us what we can F/Abe.
How can we Gm7rewrite the D#sus2stars,
say that the A#world can be Fours…
tonight.
Gm All I want is to D#fly with A#you,
all I want is to Ffall with Gmyou,
so just give me Dmall of D#you –
it feels impossible.
It’s not impossible.
Is it impossible?
Say that it’s possible.
How do we Gm7rewrite the D#sus2stars,
say you were A#made to be F/Amine,
nothing can Gm7keep us aD#sus2part
cuz you are the A#one I was meant to Ffind.
It’s up to Gm7you… and it’s up to D#sus2me,
No one can A#say what we get to F/Abe
and why don’t we Gm7rewrite the D#sus2stars,
changing the A#world to be Fours.
A#sus2 A# A#sus2
A#sus2 You know A#I want you, A#sus A#sus2
it’s not A#a secret I tryA#sus to hide. A#sus2
But I A#can’t have you, A#sus
N.C.we’re bound to break and my hands are tied.
