[Intro]
Cmaj7 – G – Am – F

[Verse 1]

Cmaj7 G
City lights like lullabies
Am F
Whisper through the drifting sky
Cmaj7 G
You're beside me, eyes closed tight
Am F
Dreamin’ soft beneath the moonlight

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm7 Em
Every breath, a quiet prayer
F G
Wrapped in clouds and midnight air

[Chorus]

C G/B
Velvet skyline, take me there
Am F
Where your love hangs in the air
C G/B
Every star, a memory
Am F G
Painted on this reverie with you and me

[Verse 2]

Cmaj7 G
Fingers tracing constellations
Am F
Hearts aligned in soft temptation
Cmaj7 G
You're the reason time stands still
Am F
In your arms, I always will

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm7 Em
The night sings a melody
F G
That only you and I can see

[Chorus]

C G/B
Velvet skyline, take me there
Am F
Where your love hangs in the air
C G/B
Every star, a memory
Am F G
Painted on this reverie with you and me

[Bridge]

Am Em
So high above the noise below
F G
Only our rhythm, soft and slow
Am Em
I never knew a peace so wide
F G
Until I found your love inside

[Final Chorus]

C G/B
Velvet skyline, glowing blue
Am F
Every dream begins with you
C G/B
Hold me close, don’t let me fall
Am F G
You’re the only star I need at all
