[Intro: Áine Zion]
[Dm]I'm not telling you to love what I love.
[Am]I'm asking you to take time to know what it is that you love and love with.
[Am]And do what you can not to offend your sensitive soul.
[Em]You've seen [Am]things my lips can't confess.
[Am]No pain can bear witness to.
[Am]My mind can justify.
[Am]My memory can wipe

[Verse 1: Emeli Sandé]
[Dm]Let me love, [F]let me touch, let me love
[Dm]Baby, give it up,[Am] let me drink from the fountain
In the car, [F]on the street, in the dark
[Am]Baby, [Dm]on the beach, [Am]in the back of the garden

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh, [Am]I'm ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh,[Am] I'm ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop

[Verse 2: Emeli Sandé]
[Am]You're in the club, [Dm]how you dance, [C]how you touch
[Dm]How you offer up all your [Am]love and devotion
Roll it up[Dm] , spark it up, [Am]let it burn
[Dm]On the balcony, and [Am]we can fly to the ocean

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh, [Am]I'm ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh,[Am] I'm ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop

[Verse 3: Emeli Sandé]
[Am]You make it real, [Dm]make me feel, make me feel
I'm as strong as steel[Am] and as tall as the[C] mountains
[Am]Talk is cheap, [Dm]can you rescue me?
No place I'd [F]rather be than the [Am]back of the garden

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh, [Am]I'm ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh,[Am] I'm ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop

[Verse 4: Jay Electronica]
[Am]Once upon a time ago
I threw my cautions to the [F]wind, my friend
And[Am] yelled, "Geronimo!"
[Em]And rode the wings of love to [Am]outer space
[F#m]But then I fell a [Am]thousand miles to Guantanamo
Euphoria to [F]torture
[Am]I left a note [Em]that had a rhyme, it go:
Love is like a [F]ferris wheel
[Am]Love is like a [F]roller coaster
[Am]Love is at a standstill
[C]Body after body after body
[Am]It's a landfill
[F]And I just caught a body
[F]In the lobby and got my hands filled
[Am]I'm a serial lover[C]
[Am]I set up all the dates
[Am]That rang up fate and got my friends k*
I barely knew my dad, [Em]sometimes I feel like my mother
[Am]I love that Purple Rain love
[Am]That have a fight, that scratch-my-face
That fuck outside and[F] ride my motorcycle in the rain love
[F]Love is like a garden[Am] , l[F]ove is like a death sentence
[F]Love is like a pardon, [Em]I'm [Am]free again and ready
Once outside these [C]prison walls, to believe again is [F]scary
[F]Your garden is my sanctuary

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
[Am]Back of the garden
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh, [Am]I'm ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh,[Am] I'm ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh, [Am]I'm [F]ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop
[Dm]Oooh ooh ooh,[Am] I'm [F]ready
[Dm]Oooh ooh, [Am]don't stop

[Outro: Áine Zion]
[Am]Be my confidant, my shoulder, my diary,
my best friend, my mentor,
[Em]my lover, my teacher,[Am] my preacher,
my one and ending, my everything.
[Dm]From the beam of the [Am]sun to the dim of t[Dm]he moon.
[Am]From before until always [Dm]I'm yours.
[Am]So keep me safe within yourself.
[C]Bow to my throne,
[Am]no matter what,
[Dm]and I will stand tal[Am]l
