Verse 1

G D/F#m Cadd9 G Em7
Oh Florida please, be still tonight, don’t disturb this love of mine

D Dsus Cadd9 G
Look how she’s so serene, you’ve gotta help me out

G D/F#m Cadd9 G Em7
And count the stars to form in lines and find the words we’ll sing in time

D Dsus Cadd9 G
I want to keep her dreaming, it’s my one wish, I won’t forget this

Pre-Chorus

Cadd9 Dsus D
I’m outdated, overrated

Cadd9 Em7 D
Morning seems so far away

Chorus

G D/F#m
So I’ll sing a melody

Cadd9
And hope to God she’s listening

Em7 D Dsus
Sleeping softly while I sing

G D/F#m
And I’ll be your memories

Cadd9
Your lullaby for all the times

Em7 D Dsus
Hoping that my voice could get it right

G D/F#m Cadd9 G Em7 D Dsus Cadd9 G

Verse 2

G D/F#m Cadd9 G Em7
If luck is on my side tonight, my clumsy tongue will make it right

D Dsus Cadd9 G
And wrists that touch, it isn’t much, but it’s enough

G D/F#m Cadd9 G Em7
To form imaginary lines, forget your scars, we’ll forget mine

D Dsus Cadd9
The hours change so fast, oh God, please make this last

Pre-Chorus

Cadd9 Dsus D
I’m outdated, overrated

Cadd9 Em7 D
Morning seems so far away

So I’ll sing a melody

And hope to God she’s listening

Em7 D Dsus
Sleeping softly while I sing

And I’ll be your memories

Cadd9
Your lullaby for all the times

Em7 D Dsus
Hoping that my voice could get it right

Cadd9 Gsus D Dsus Cadd9 D
Could get it right

  6. strum pattern: down, down, up down up down, up down and repeat

    it usually goes: down, down, *change chord* up down up down *pause* up down, *change chord* and then repeats.
