i’m in venice with a ring in my pocket
floating over the blue-green
your fingers in the grand canal
my hands shaking like a leaf
 
G#                              A#
well, i have a song that you’ll want to hear
Cm                          D#
planned this one with the gondelier
G#                      A#
our eyes meet like they did the first time
D#                A#
and you had no idea

A#         D#              F
i secretly learned the guitar
every time we were apart
so i could sing to you
that from now on
i only want to be
anywhere you are

D# G# A#
i've thought about this for such a long time
a life with the girl of my dreams
different books on the stands by our bedsides
but one story written in between
 
G# A# Cm D#
so there's something that i want to know
do you love me like i love you so

A#         D#                F
i secretly learned the guitar
every time we were apart
so i could sing to you
that from now on
i only want to be
anywhere you are

D# F A#
singing i could be the man who grows old with you
i want to grow old with you

A#         D#              F
i secretly learned the guitar
every time we were apart
so i could sing to you
that from now on
i only want to be
anywhere you are
