18Th Floor

Em7                C
  I've got a love, glistens in the 
moonlight
G                    D           
  East side of the city where 
                Em7
it's a little less bright
                    C
And I don't usually fall hard but 
this time
G                          D     
  I'm burning up like bare feet 
                  Em7
on concrete in the summertime

            C                      
When it was our time. We go hand in
 G
 hand
                         D         
And fell asleep with the stars and 
                 Em7
the waves on the sand
                        C       
Felt like another land,   that I 
                  G
would never understand
                    D
Getting dizzy in my head

       Em7                     
But it came to a halt, within a 
 C
minute or two, when
G                              D 
  Your time was up, your 
                        Em7
motherland, she was calling for you
                         C
You packed up your bags, tied up 
your shoes
     G                      D N.C.
Locked pinkies together and said, 
I'll see you soon


[Chorus]
Em7 C                        G  
  I know that you want to go 
             D
high, and so do I
         Em7                   C  
So we'll keep this alive, keep 
              G  D
this alive, yeah
Em7   C                        G
  You said that you want to go 
               D
far and so will I
         Em7                       
So we'll shoot for the stars, shoot
 C                    G  D
 for the stars, yeah

Em7 N.C.                 C N.C.
  It's good to leave, to love a 
little more
           G  N.C.                  
 D  N.C.
She's been   skipping my breath, she
 doesn't even know it yet
    Em7  N.C.            C  N.C.
And how many times can I say that I 
miss you?
G  N.C.                       D N.C.
  Not really something that I want 
to get used to   but

Em7                            C 
  I've been thinking about the 
                      G
days to come, we'll lay in the sun
          D
Waking up late for the coffee run 
and
Em7                       C      
  A couple words that are sitting
                  G
 on the tip of my tongue
                           D  N.C.
I'm breathing easy but I'm getting 
kind of heavy in my lungs


[Chorus]
Em7 C                        G  
  I know that you want to go 
             D
high, and so do I
         Em7                   C  
So we'll keep this alive, keep 
              G  D
this alive, yeah
Em7   C                        G
  You said that you want to go 
               D
far and so will I
         Em7                       
So we'll shoot for the stars, shoot
 C                    G  D
 for the stars, yeah


[Verse 3]
Em7  N.C.             C  N.C.
  And now we're here, sitting on 
your bedroom floor
G  N.C.                 D  N.C.     
                Em7 N.C.
  I feel like I'm high, somewhere on
 the eighteenth floor
                     C  N.C.
Was that a metaphor?   I'm not 
really sure
G N.C.                        D N.C.
  But all I know is that it's you 
Honey that I adore  and

Em7                 C            
  Right hands got a ticket to fly
            G                      
 over the Pacific and you wouldn't 
        D
want to miss it
Because I'll miss your coastal 
Em7                         C
kisses when I'm feeling low   
Somewhere back at home
G                         D      
  I'll sneak some of your love in
                   Em7
 checked baggage below
                         C
And I don't really know,   how long 
it's gonna take
G                   D            
  For this world of ours to clean
           Em7
 up its mistakes
                        C
But we'll sit and wait,   yeah we'll
 sit and wait
G                  D
  Cause on the horizon, I can see 
the better days


[Bridge]
Em7   C  G  D
   Yeah
Em7  C  G  D


[Chorus]
Em7 C                        G  
  I know that you want to go 
             D
high, and so do I
         Em7                   C  
So we'll keep this alive, keep 
              G  D
this alive, yeah
Em7   C                        G
  You said that you want to go 
               D
far and so will I
         Em7                       
So we'll shoot for the stars, shoot
 C              G  D
 for the stars, yeah
