[Intro] C G C G x2

       C
If somebody was to write us down
             G
We'd be a brightly coloured novel

Filled with pictures and with sound
                 C
Whether it be a hard back or a soft back
                                G
We'd be definitely bound with heart

          C
If Shakespeare was our narrator

He would have to make up words
      G
All adjectives and similies
                                      C          G
That had never before been heard by humans, by humans
         C
A love story bound by happiness

An adventure in the clouds
               G
Filled with rhyming verse and speaking birds

A story about how
      C
Two humans fall together

Through a sequence of events
 G
One of them is selfless and the other makes the bed
       C                                                 G
They encompass all the sonnets, their a reason to fear death

            C
Either the gods all adore us
            G
They shoot happiness from above
          C
I guess rather than wonder
           G             C       G
We should probably just fall in love

        C
If our story was a film

It would definitely be
         G
A film directed by Tim Burton

With magic and mystery
              C
We'd be that bit in the English patient

Where Ralph is brought down to his knees
            G
Or a whole list of happy endings
                                        C        G
But this ones endless and its free, for us to decide
             C
We'd be an independent love film

We'd be critically acclaimed
             G
It would be happy and be awkward

With no sad twist at the end
      C
A montage of adventures

Between a boy and between a girl
            G
We'd meet mythical dark creatures
                                 C               G
Travel all around the world, whenever we wanted to
            C
Either the gods all adore us
              G
They shoot happiness from above
           C
I guess rather than wonder
             G            C       G
We should probably just fall in love
