Intro: Áine Zion
Dm
I'm not telling you to love what I love.
Am
I'm asking you to take time to know what it is that you love and love with.
Am
And do what you can not to offend your sensitive soul.
Em Am
You've seen things my lips can't confess.
Am
No pain can bear witness to.
Am
My mind can justify.
Am
My memory can wipe
verse 1: Emeli Sandé
Dm F
Let me love, let me touch, let me love
Dm Am
Baby, give it up, let me drink from the fountain
F
In the car, on the street, in the dark
Am Dm Am
Baby, on the beach, in the back of the garden

Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop
verse 2: Emeli Sandé
Am Dm C
You're in the club, how you dance, how you touch
Dm Am
How you offer up all your love and devotion
Dm Am
Roll it up, spark it up, let it burn
Dm Am
On the balcony, and we can fly to the ocean
Dm Am
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
Dm Am
Oooh ooh, don't stop
Dm Am
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready

Oooh ooh, don't stop
verse 3: Emeli Sandé
Am Dm
You make it real, make me feel, make me feel
Am C
I'm as strong as steel and as tall as the mountains

Talk is cheap, can you rescue me?

No place I'd rather be than the back of the garden

Oooh ooh, don't stop

verse 4: Jay Electronica
Am
Once upon a time ago
F
I threw my cautions to the wind, my friend
Am
And yelled, "Geronimo!"
Em Am
And rode the wings of love to outer space
F#m Am
But then I fell a thousand miles to Guantanamo
F
Euphoria to torture
Am Em
I left a note that had a rhyme, it go:
F
Love is like a ferris wheel
Am F
Love is like a roller coaster
Am
Love is at a standstill
C
Body after body after body
Am
It's a landfill
F
And I just caught a body
F
In the lobby and got my hands filled
Am C
I'm a serial lover
Am
I set up all the dates
Am
That rang up fate and got my friends k*
Em
I barely knew my dad, sometimes I feel like my mother
Am
I love that Purple Rain love
Am
That have a fight, that scratch-my-face
F
That fuck outside and ride my motorcycle in the rain love
F Am F
Love is like a garden, love is like a death sentence
F Em Am
Love is like a pardon, I'm free again and ready
C F
Once outside these prison walls, to believe again is scary
F
Your garden is my sanctuary
Am
Back of the garden
Dm Am
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
Dm Am
Oooh ooh, don't stop
Dm Am
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
Dm Am
Oooh ooh, don't stop
Dm Am F
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
Dm Am
Oooh ooh, don't stop
Dm Am F
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
Dm Am
Oooh ooh, don't stop
Outro:
Am
Be my confidant, my shoulder, my diary,
my best friend, my mentor,
Em Am
my lover, my teacher, my preacher,
my one and ending, my everything.
Dm Am Dm
From the beam of the sun to the dim of the moon.
Am Dm
From before until always I'm yours.
Am
So keep me safe within yourself.
C
Bow to my throne,
Am
no matter what,
Dm Am
and I will stand tall
