​My Song (Lyrics and Chords)
​
Guardian Angel
Verse 1:
I've got a plan for our future
It's simple and here's how it goes
Happiness for me and you
There it is open and and close

I know it's a little naive
but let's just ignore that for now
I need to be clear to hold you my dear
It feels like I'm walking on clouds

Chorus:
You're the only high I'll ever need I'm drunk with your love
Don't need no guardian angel cause you're sent from above
 You make me smile, you make me blush like no one ever could
And I'm pretty sure no one ever would if it weren't for you.
