Blue October - 18th Floor Balcony: chords

A
I close my eyes and I smile
             Bm7              A
Knowing that everything is alright
        A/F#
To the core
               D
So close that door
         Bm7
Is this happening?

My breath is on your hair, I'm unaware
That you opened the blinds
and let the city in

God, you held my hand, and we stared
Just taking in everything

Chorus:
        D
And I knew it from the start
      A/C#
So my arms are open wide
      Bm7
Your head is on my stomach
                                              D
And we're, we’re trying so hard not to fall asleep
        A/C#
Here we are
         Bm7
On this 18th floor balcony
                    A A/F# D Bm7
We're both flying away...

So we talked about moms and dads,
about family pasts
Just getting to know where we came from

Our hearts were on display for all to see
I can't believe this is happening to me and

I raised my hand, as if to show you that
I was yours
That I was so yours for the taking,
I'm so yours for the taking

That's when I felt the wind pick up
I grabbed the rail while choking up
These words to say and then you kissed me, yeah

Chorus:
I knew it from the start
My arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach and we're
We're trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony, we're both flying away

                 Bm7
And I'll try to sleep
   A/C#             D
to keep you in my dreams
'Till I can bring you home with me
             Bm7
I'll try to sleep
                    A/C#        D   E
and when I do I'll keep you in my dreams

Chorus:
And I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach and we're
We're trying so hard not to fall asleep
So here we are
On this 18th floor balcony, yeah

I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
And your head is on my stomach
No, we're not going to sleep, sleep
Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony, we're both flying away
