                Gm
Can you give it all?
               Am
A look when I don't feel seen
C                    Gm7
Turn the nightmare into a dream
Gm         Am         C Gm7
A promise you can keep
                Gm
Can you give it all?
                  Am
Your lips when I feel insane
C                      Gm7
Make me float like balloons in the rain
                    Am            C  Gm7
Show me love's not just a wicked game to me

Gm                   Am
Come on, little baby, let's stay high
