G                   Cadd9 
Sounds like a scene from the silver screen 
     D              G 
Yeah that's how it was 
G                               Cadd9 
Love doesn't always look like a picture perfect storybook 
          D           G 
Ah, but sometimes it does 
G                        Cadd9                                G 
Standing beside her, the stars shine even brighter, and for a moment 
                   D   Cadd9 A    D   G 
All the world was, all the  world was still 
G                                    Cadd9 
And I knew we belonged together the moment my eyes met hers 
               D                          Cadd9         D 
And I thought, nothin lasts forever, but maybe this one will 

  G     Cadd9      G     D      G             D           Cadd9 
A deep breath, and baby steps, that's how the whole thing starts 
        G   Cadd9 D          G   D      Cadd9     G 
It's a long slow beautiful dance to the beat of a heart 
 
G                                   Cadd9 
The world starts to spin again you learn things you didn't know then 
G                               D 
Feels like the bloom is off the rose 
G                                    Cadd9 
But you weather a few storms and you pull out a few thorns 
    A                    D 
And together the garden grows and grows 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
SOLO (It's a long, slow, beautiful dance my friend) 
 
G                        Cadd9 
The house is filled with so much love 
G                               D                             G 
We've got more than enough for two (ahh, more than enough for two) 
                      Cadd9 
So we've been thinkin about havin a baby 
           A                   G               D 
I know it sounds crazy, but it seems like the natural thing to do 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
It's a long slow...
