Em Cadd9 G
There's a softness in your voice, that reminds of back home

I love it when you're laughing sprawled out on a picnic chair

Em Cadd9 G
Well the love that you got is the love that I need
Em Cadd9 G

Em Cadd9 G
[Verse 3]
Em Cadd9 G
and I hope we make it out of all these younger years of life
Em Cadd9 G

Saying I've made it over 'cause the hope I found I in you
