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 
C                          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

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# C 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
