Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[Bm] [A] [Em] [A] I [Bm]feel the way you want me, I [A]see that you are lonely. If you [Em]could, I know you’d leave with me, it’s [A]more than curiosity. And [Bm]I’ve never longed for winter, ’til [A]your presence made me shiver. [Em]Untethered you’d be, better if you’d [A]only come with me.

One [G]night I will be the [Bm]moon, hanging over you. [A](Spilling all over your body, [Em]covering all your wounds) One [G]night I will be the [Bm]star, falling where you are. [A](Swimming in the deep of my love, [Em]filling your empty heart) One [G]night, one night, one [Bm]night, one [A]night, one night, one [A]night.

You’ve [Bm]come so close to tasting, now my [A]innocence is breaking. Like the [Em]ocean in a perfect storm, it [A]makes me want you even more. I’ve [Bm]never been so jealous, I’ve [A]never felt so helpless. So [Em]out of breath and hungry for [A]you.

One [G]night I will be the [Bm]moon, hanging over you. [A](Spilling all over your body, [Em]covering all your wounds) One [G]night I will be the [Bm]star, falling where you are. [A](Swimming in the deep of my love, [Em]filling your empty heart) One [G]night, one night, one [Bm]night, one [A]night, one night, one [A]night.

[Em]Hurry, the [A]sun is waking [Em]Darling, don’t [Bm]leave me waiting [A]

One [G]night I will be the [Bm]moon, hanging over you. [A](Spilling all over your body, [Em]covering all your wounds) One [G]night I will be the [Bm]star, falling where you are. [A](Swimming in the deep of my love, [Em]filling your empty heart) One [G]night, one night, one [Bm]night, one [A]night, one night, one [A]night. One [G]night, one night, one [Bm]night, one [A]night, one night, one [A]night.
