C        Am 
A million and one thousand things are screaming in my head 
                      Em 
And I can't seem to forget 
                       C 
Can't stop thinking about you 
                                               Am 
I could ride across the sky in a bicycle built for two 
                             Em 
Could you teach me how to ride 

Like you taught me how to feel alive 




F          C                Em                       Am 
Not a single day goes by when I don't wish for you to 
F            C                           Em 
watch me pause to find the words to steal your heart away 
F             C                                  Em          Am 
But I play every word back round and round to try and find 
F              C                         Em 
a clue you might have left behind to say you feel the same 




C      Em        Am  C 
Even if I know 
C        Em                Am   C 
I'll never be your Leo 
C                 Em 
I'll keep holding on
