Sleeping At Last

Next To Me
Capo 7

C
C Em F C
C Em F C

C Em
Oh, our futures were written with crayons in coloring books
F C

It was misspelled and outside the lines and we loved how it looked
C Em
Like the crooked hem of your favorite childhood dress
F C
And the holes in my jeans from years of carelessness
F Am
I know since we've grown, we ache for those memories
F C Em C
Honestly, nothing's even compared to you next to me, next to me

C Em
When the words came to you for the first time, you knew you were hooked
F C
And the pride that you felt at the last page of your first book
C Em
And the bravery I forced when I sang to an audience of three
F C
Well, it took a million wrong notes just to find a single melody and key
F Am
I know since we've grown we plea for clarity
F C Em
Honestly, nothing's ever made sense til you were next to me, next to me

(On Piano* But Chords Written for Guitar with Capo)

F Dm C Em
If time is money, then I'll spend it all for you
F Dm C Em
I will buy you flowers with the minutes we outgrew
F Dm C Em
I'll turn hours into gardens, planted just for us to take
F Dm C
I'll be reckless with my days, building castles in your name

F Am
Since we've grown, we long for concrete things
F C Em
Honestly, nothing's felt so sure than when you were next to me, next to me

C Em F C

C Em
So lets cut down the red tape and gather up the pieces of our youth
F
Cause there's nothing in this world we can't fix with some scissors and glue
