Intro: D-G-A (x4)
D G A D G A
I dream we're out on the runway and you're right there by my side,
D G A D G A
And we're taking off in your G5 baby, I love it when we fly,
D G A D G A
'Cause you're mighty like a knockout baby, you're desperate like a rose,
D G A D G A
And you stumble into the spotlight, hey, and you watch the crowd grow,
C G D A C G
But my hero said, you can't hold the hand of a rock and roll man,
D A C
But what if I can, what if I can.
D A Em G
What if I look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine,
D A Bm G
Into your eyes, they're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign,
D A Em G C
I'm building our lives on the dreams we string together, like Christmas lights.
D G A D G A
I can't wait till the night comes for that sweet blue summer sky,
D G A D G A
Because I've got something to tell you, baby, and the daylight makes me shy,
C G D A
But tonight I'll sing out as loud as I can,
C G D A C
Like a diehard fan for my favourite band, loud as I can.
D A Em G
And I'm gonna look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine,
D A Bm G
Into your eyes, they're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign,
D A Em G C
I'm building our lives on the dreams we string together, like Christmas lights.
Em G A Em G A
Slow down baby, the summer is over, it's almost time to go home,
Em G A C
But don't worry baby, the nights may get colder but you're not alone, no.

Like Christmas lights, Christmas lights,

Look in your eyes,

Look in your eyes,

Look in your eyes,
D A Em G
Look in your eyes.
