Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
 (G major) An ytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
C

Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic_- a_- cherry cola
G 
 (G major) I  don't need to try to explain
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again
C 
I may move so slight (C major) ly
To the arms and the lips and the face
Of the human cannonball that

Verse 2
G5 
 (G5) I'm the kind of person
who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy,

It's like I'm down on the floor
And I don't know what I'm in for
G5

and place in the interaction

To a deep sea diver

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords
