        G#
So step inside
                      C#
'Cause that night is cold,
it don't deserve such a smile
          G#
It's not enough
           C#                         Fm
For it to show up every once in a while

                G#        Fm
In the moonlight, I should
             C#                    Fm
Kiss you at Samhain, throw it all down
                  G#
Wouldn't that be cool?
            A#m               C#
To kill the guards, open the gates,
                Fm
for feelings unbound

                      C#
But I've been keeping hope
            G#              A#m             Fm
I've got a fairytale in my heart, I can cope
                  C#
I've been keeping hope
              G#               A#m           Fm
Bet they had you in mind when naming the rose

Chorus:
C#        G#          A#m            Fm
Only know 'bout how I won't be here later
C#           G#              A#m             Fm
Don't forget, 'bout how she had you feeling major
C#                 G#          A#m            Fm
He tried to write down how he felt 'bout the girl

Kept running out of paper. He'll wait for her

C#                     G#
He was feeling fucking awesome
     A#m                Fm
Be a good man like you taught him

Don't get caught up in caution when love exists

So step inside
'Cause that night is cold, it don't deserve such a smile
We'll be alright
I could never lie about caring a lot
