Holy Ground

I was reminiscin' just the other day while having coffee all alone and,

Lord, it took me away back to a (Asus2)first glance feeling on New York time,

back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme.

(E)Took off faster than a green light go.

Yeah, you skip the conversation when you already know I left a (C#m7)note on the door with a joke we'd made and (Asus2)that was the first day.

And (B)darling, (C#m7)it was (A)good

(B)never (C#m7)looking (Asus2)down.

And (B)right there (C#m7)where we (A)stood

was holy ground.

(E5)Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress,

we had this big wide city all to ourselves.

We block the (Asus2)noise with the sound of "I need you."

And for the first time I had somethin' to lose.

And I (E)guess we fell apart in the usual way and the story's got dust on every page.

But (C#m7)sometimes I wonder how you think about it now.

And I (Asus2)see your face in ev'ry crowd.

'Cause (B)darling, (C#m7)it was (A)good

(B)never (C#m7)looking (A)down.

And (B)right there (C#m7)where we (A)stood

was holy ground.

(E)Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through.

But I don't want to dance if I'm not dancing with you.

Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room.

But I don't want to dance if I'm not dancing with (B)you.

(C#m7)It was (A)good

(B)never (C#m7)looking (A)down.

And (B)right there (C#m7)where we (A)stood

was holy ground.

(E)Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through.

But I don't want to dance if I'm not dancing with you.

Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room.

But I don't want to dance if I'm not dancing with (B)you.

(C#m7)It was if I'm not dancing with you.
