Full Song
Verse 1
AmFC
You know I want you, it’s not a secret I try to hide
GAm
I know you want me, so don’t keep saying our hands are tied
F
You claim it’s not in the cards
CG
And fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me
Chorus
AmF
What if we rewrite the stars
C
Say you were made to be mine
GAm
Nothing could keep us apart
FC
You’d be the one I was meant to find
GAm
It’s up to you and it’s up to me
FC
No one can say what we get to be
GAm
So why don’t we rewrite the stars
Verse 2
AmF
All I want is to fly with you
CG
All I want is to fall with you
AmF
So just give me all of you
CG
It feels impossible
