If I had to break it down
F#m G
I'd say it's the way you love to dance

Movin' the furniture when my back is turned

The flick of the lights and the world falls
Away

To space

But there by the fire, you offered your hand
A7
And as I took it, I loved you
The boy with the plan

The man with the axe and the lo- ok

In his eyes
