18Th Floor

Em7                C
  I've got a love, glistens in the moonlight
G                    D                           Em7
  East side of the city where it's a little less bright
                    C
And I don't usually fall hard but this time
G                          D                       Em7
  I'm burning up like bare feet on concrete in the summertime

            C                       G
When it was our time. We go hand in hand
                         D                          Em7
And fell asleep with the stars and the waves on the sand
                        C                         G
Felt like another land,   that I would never understand
                    D
Getting dizzy in my head

       Em7                      C
But it came to a halt, within a minute or two, when
G                              D                         Em7
  Your time was up, your motherland, she was calling for you
                         C
You packed up your bags, tied up your shoes
     G                      D N.C.
Locked pinkies together and said, I'll see you soon


[Chorus]
Em7 C                        G               D
  I know that you want to go high, and so do I
         Em7                   C                G  D
So we'll keep this alive, keep this alive, yeah
Em7   C                        G               D
  You said that you want to go far and so will I
         Em7                        C                    G  D
So we'll shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars, yeah


[Verse 2]
Em7 N.C.                 C N.C.
  It's good to leave, to love a little more
           G  N.C.                   D  N.C.
She's been   skipping my breath, she doesn't even know it yet
    Em7  N.C.            C  N.C.
And how many times can I say that I miss you?
G  N.C.                       D N.C.
  Not really something that I want to get used to   but

Em7                            C                       G
  I've been thinking about the days to come, we'll lay in the sun
          D
Waking up late for the coffee run and
Em7                       C                        G
  A couple words that are sitting on the tip of my tongue
                           D  N.C.
I'm breathing easy but I'm getting kind of heavy in my lungs


[Chorus]
Em7 C                        G               D
  I know that you want to go high, and so do I
         Em7                   C                G  D
So we'll keep this alive, keep this alive, yeah
Em7   C                        G               D
  You said that you want to go far and so will I
         Em7                        C                    G  D
So we'll shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars, yeah


[Verse 3]
Em7  N.C.             C  N.C.
  And now we're here, sitting on your bedroom floor
G  N.C.                 D  N.C.                     Em7 N.C.
  I feel like I'm high, somewhere on the eighteenth floor
                     C  N.C.
Was that a metaphor?   I'm not really sure
G N.C.                        D N.C.
  But all I know is that it's you Honey that I adore  and

Em7                 C                        G                              D
  Right hands got a ticket to fly over the Pacific and you wouldn't want to miss it
                               Em7                         C
Because I'll miss your coastal kisses when I'm feeling low   Somewhere back at home
G                         D                         Em7
  I'll sneak some of your love in checked baggage below
                         C
And I don't really know,   how long it's gonna take
G                   D                       Em7
  For this world of ours to clean up its mistakes
                        C
But we'll sit and wait,   yeah we'll sit and wait
G                  D
  Cause on the horizon, I can see the better days


[Bridge]
Em7   C  G  D
   Yeah
Em7  C  G  D


[Chorus]
Em7 C                        G               D
  I know that you want to go high, and so do I
         Em7                   C                G  D
So we'll keep this alive, keep this alive, yeah
Em7   C                        G               D
  You said that you want to go far and so will I
         Em7                        C              G  D
So we'll shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars, yeah


[Outro]
   Em7  C  G  D
Ohhh
Em7  C  G  D
