Chasing Cars Lyrics with Chords
[Verse 1]
[A]We’ll do it all [E]
Everything [D]
On our own [A]
[A]We don’t need [E]
Anything [D] or anyone [A]
[Chorus]
If I lay [A]here
If I just [E]lay here
Would you lie [D]with me and just forget the world? [A]
[Verse 2]
[A]I don’t quite know [E]
How to say [D]
How I feel [A]
[A]Those three words [E]
Are said too much [D]
They’re not enough [A]
[Chorus]
If I lay [A]here
If I just [E]lay here
Would you lie [D]with me and just forget the world? [A]
Forget what we’re [A]told
Before we get [E]too old
Show me a [D]garden that’s burstin’ into life [A]
[Verse 3]
[A]Let’s waste time [E]
Chasing cars [D]
Around our heads [A]
[A]I need your grace [E]
To remind me [D]
To find my own [A]
[Chorus]
If I lay [A]here
If I just [E]lay here
Would you lie [D]with me and just forget the world? [A]
Forget what we’re [A]told
Before we get [E]too old
Show me a [D]garden that’s burstin’ into life [A]
[Bridge]
All that I [A]am
All that I [E]ever was
Is here in your [D]perfect eyes, they’re all I can see [A]
I don’t know [A]where
Confused about [E]how, as well
Just know that these [D]things will never change for us at all [A]
[Chorus]
If I lay [A]here
If I just [E]lay here
Would you lie [D]with me and just forget the world? [A]
