I was floating across the dance floor,
A
I was trying to think of something to say,
Dmaj9 A Amaj9
When i went up to your girlfriends and pulled you away.

You were so perfectly pretty,
A
I could love every mistake.

At the end of the night, i asked you your name.
D F#m
You said "Laura" - i couldn't ignore it.

But on paper, i could write it out for you.
D F#m E
On paper, i could draw you a picture.
D F#m E Bm D

F#m
I saw you in a dream in the morning,
A
It's the only time i can remember.
Dmaj9 A Amaj9
You were sitting at my kitchen table with no makeup on.
F#m
If i flew in through the front door,
A
You were so happy to see it,
Dmaj9 A Amaj9
And you were telling me about everything you saw on tour.
D F#m
And i said "know this - i'll listen to your records,
E
i'll keep you in my head."
