Intro:
BR Bbm Db Ab R1 Bbm Db Ab R2
Basic chord progression over lyrics: Bbm Db Ab
You wrap your arms around R1
A feeling that surrounds R2
Like liquid peppermint R1
Just taste the drinks that she served Bbm Db Ab
And this feeling shimmers down your spine
Love comes in colors I can't deny
All that matters is love, love, your love BR
You're sleeping in your bed R2
Just rest your weary head R1
Maybe you shouldn't care R2
Throw away those dreams and dare
Solo (kind of; there is some singing over this):
