[Intro]
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9 Dsus4/F# Em7 D Dsus4 Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9 Dsus4/F# Em7
Oh Florida please, be still tonight, don't disturb this love of mine
D Dsus4 Cadd9 G
Look how she's so serene, you've gotta help me out
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9 Dsus4/F# Em7
And count the stars to form in lines and find the words we'll sing in time
D Dsus4 Cadd9 G
I want to keep her dreaming, it's my one wish, I won't forget this
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 Dsus4/F# D
I'm outdated, overrated
Cadd9 Em7 D
Morning seems so far away
[Chorus]
G Dsus4/F#
So I'll sing a melody
Cadd9
And hope to God she's listening
Em7 D Dsus4
Sleeping softly while I sing
G Dsus4/F#
And I'll be your memories
Cadd9
Your lullaby for all the times
Em7 D Dsus4
Hoping that my voice could get it right
**Now, one guitar repeats the intro and the other does a little diddle.. :D

[Verse 2]
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9 Dsus4/F# Em7
If luck is on my side tonight, my clumsy tongue will make it right
D Dsus4 Cadd9 G
And wrists that touch, it isn't much, but it's enough
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9 Dsus4/F# Em7
To form imaginary lines, forget your scars, we'll forget mine
D Dsus4 Cadd9
The hours change so fast, oh God, please make this last
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 Dsus4/F# D
I'm outdated, overrated
Cadd9 Em7 D
Morning seems so far away
[Chorus]
G Dsus4/F#
So I'll sing a melody

Cadd9
Your lullaby for all the times

Hoping that my voice could get it right
Cadd9 Dsus4/F# D Dsus4 Cadd9 D
Could get it right
[Bridge]
