G If everything could ever feel this real forever
D If anything could ever be this good again

Full out. Crash on downbeats. Driving 8ths. Quarter note kick.

G Hold you in

Bm Slow how G you wanted it to D be

G If everything could ever feel this real forever
D If anything could ever be this good again

Bm And I wonder G  
D If everything could ever feel this real forever
