VERSE 
(G) When we're this close I can almost 
Hear your (Em7) heart beat 
As you (Am7) softly breathe lyin' (D) here with me 
(G) Your skin's like a canvas 
Being painted by the (Em7) moonbeams 
Truly a (Am7) masterpiece 
To you it comes (D) naturally 
 
   
   I couldn't (G) dream a love better than this 
   Could (G/F#) never im(Em7)agine such a kiss 
   Or the (F) way your body (C/B) feels in my (C) arms (D) 
   Old Mister (G) Sandman I'll resist 
   'Cause if I (G/F#) were to (Em7) sleep look at all I'd (C) miss 
   I couldn't (Am7) dream (D) a love better than (G) this 
 
VERSE 
(G) It's getting late 
But I don't want to (Em7) close my eyes 
I don't care a(Am7)bout the time 
Or the (D) world outside 
(G) We're movin' to the music playin' (Em7) in our minds 
The (Am7) mood's just right for staying (D) up all night 
 
   CHORUS 
   I couldn't (G) dream a love better than this 
   Could (G/F#) never im(Em7)agine such a kiss 
   Or the (F) way your body (C/B) feels in my (C) arms (D) 
   Old Mister (G) Sandman I'll resist 
   'Cause if I (G/F#) were to (Em7) sleep look at all I'd (C) miss 
   I couldn't (Am7) dream (D) a love better than (C) this 
 
BRIDGE 
(F) I've had my (C) fantasies 
(Bb) But none compare to re(D)ality 
 
   CHORUS 
   I couldn't (A) dream a love better than this 
   Could (A/G#) never im(F#m7)agine such a kiss 
   Or the (G) way your body (D/C#) feels in my (D) arms (E) 
   Old Mister (A) Sandman I'll resist 
   'Cause if I (A/G#) were to (F#m7) sleep look at all I'd (D) miss 
   I couldn't (Bm7) dream (E) a love better than (D) this
