Find the cheapest bottle of wine we can find

(play chorus again)

Dm

Well its all

Cm C

For the sake of arriving with you

Verse 2:

Well I will make the table into a bed

The candles burnin down its time to rest

Take back things already gone

I can give you promises for keeps

And I’ll only take them back

If they become yours and you give them to me

Chorus

Well its all

For the sake of arriving with you

Well its all

For the sake of arriving with you

Bridge: (Same as the chorus)

We can make this into anything

We can make this grow and become what will be

This can make this into anything

It can make us become more then what we seek
