[Verse 1]

E                        E9sus
If melody is my destiny
                    C#m9  C#m7 D6sus2
Then what's left of me
D6sus2           E
I'll give to you

     E
If next to me
                       E9sus
Is all that you need to be
                                C#m9   C#m7 D6sus2
Would you settle for fantasy
D6sus2                           E
If it's the best you could do

[Verse 2]

          Bsus/Ab
Can I have my cake
          A(add9)
Can I have you too
                 Bsus/Ab
Would you follow me
              C#m9* C#m7* C#m9* C#m7*
Could I ask you to

                F#m11
Would the world between us
F#m11
Break these ties
          Bsus/Ab
We've work so hard to realize
           F#7
Can a postcard say
             F#7
What I see in your eyes
A(add9)        B9sus        E
Could I ever break away

E
Would I be satisfied
               E9sus
And find peace inside
            C#m9   C#m7 D6sus2
Rolling half my life
                               E
Over broken white lines

          Bsus/Ab

Can I have you too

Would you follow me
            C#m9*  C#m7* C#m9* C#m7*
Could I ask you to

         F#m11
Will I wake up one morning
F#m11
And see your face
         Bsus/Ab
And streaks on the window
Bsus/Ab
That the rainstorm makes
                 F#7
Could you bear all the weight
                F#7
And the strength that it takes
A(add9)         B9sus        E
Could I ever break away
