I have never known someone who does things like you do.

Two is when I knew that you were one to play along 
Em                      C                                   G                       D 
Three we started see how deep we could be if we were to trust that 
Em                          C                    G                      D 
Four our love could handle anything that came to us and at  
Em                            C                G            D           Em              C       G  
Five in the morning we stop, we listen, we talk, we kiss and we stare we can't believe we're  
D
