Intro:  Am C G D 

verse 1 

G                       C 
When was the last time it was just us two. 
Em                                 D 
This busy world gives us an endless list of things to do. 
G                                 C                                                  
I wish there was a place we could go just me and you, 
Em                                       D 
need to carve out precious time despite all we're going through. 

Pre-Chorus 

Am                          C 
Call and say that you're ill there's no medicine to fill. 
G                      D 
This love sick void of mine. 


                     Am                C 
Let's just turn the world off like a Sunday. 
             G              D 
All we gotta do is work our bodies. 
                   Am                 C 
Underneath these sheets there are no worries. 
                           G       D    
When the world outside is scary, ohhh, baby you're my sanctuary. 

Interlude: Am C  

                        G       D 
Baby you're my sanctuary. 

verse 2 

G                          C                        
When was the last time we went out for a meal and  
Em                                D 
drunk too much to forget work and how it makes us feel. 
G                          C 
We can wake up to reality when our hearts have healed. 
Em                         D 
But for now this isolation it couldn't be more ideal. 

Pre-Chorus 

Am                                 C 
Call and say that you're ill there's no medicine to fill. 
G                           D 
This love sick void of mine. 
Am                               C 
And now that we found our space, to feed each others embrace. 
G                                 D 
We can leave our troubles behind. 


                     Am              C                     
Let's just turn the world off like a Sunday. 
               G              D 
All we got to do is work our bodies. 
                   Am                  C 
Underneath these sheets there are no worries. 
                           G         D 
When the world outside is scary, ohhh, baby you're my sanctuary. 

Interlude:  Am C 

                        G             D 
Baby you're my sanctuary. 
                              Am       C 
When the world outside is scary 
                        G             D 
Baby you're my sanctuary. 

Bridge: 

G  
In room all time it stops. 
Em                            Am                               B 
And everything else I forgot, oh, when you leave it starts again we can just pretend. 


                      Am              C 
Let's just turn the world off like a Sunday. 
               G              D 
All we got to do is work our bodies. 
                   Am                  C 
Underneath these sheets there are no worries. 
                            G        D                         
When the world outside is scary, ohhh, baby you're my sanctuary.  
Am                             C 
(You are my sanctuary,) 
                         G                D  
Baby you're my sanctuary, (you are my sanctuary). 
                            Am                    C                           G                        D 
When the world outside is scary. (You are my sanctuary) baby you're my sanctuary. (You are my sanctuary).
