 And it seems like things are only getting better
 Well it seems like we can never catch a break
 Just keep a hold on me Don’t  let go
 If you  float away If you float away
 Waited too long for a ship  to come
 Don’t you  float away Don’t you float away
 Let’s go to bed  Let’s stop debating
 Look at the time  We’re always waiting
 G(hold) Bbm(hold) G# C#---
  But we’re in love And that should be just fine

 And if you like (and if you like)
 And if you like Some other time
 I would like to introduce you to the finer  things
 If we survive (If we survive)
 If we survive Get out alive
  (Snare Rollings)
 I’d like to say how beautiful I think you are
 keep a hold on me Don’t  let go
 If you  float away If you float away
 Waited too long for a ship  to come
 Don’t you  float away Don’t you float away
 (Repeat Chorus 1 twice)
