In look magazines

Here comes Tommy

With glasses and all

Flowers in hand and ambitious plans

It's not hard to fall
C
She's walking on rivers
Am
he lifts her above
F
she's full of belonging
C
and so full of love
C
Things get a bit louder
Am
Tommy's focused on plans
F
His smile's replaced with an aggressive face
C
But she'll still hold his hand.
C
Now she's given up dancing
Am
Tommy says she's too old
F
He says focus on me but she disagrees
C
While she does as she's told
C
Are you walking on eggshells
Am
And when push comes to shove
F
Are you full of belonging
C
But not full of love
C
Back to the studio
Am
Where she was told not to go
F
Feeling sick with guilt, the tension builds
C
As she opens the door
C
And what else would be there
Am
But a trusting pair
F C
Of strong bodies, lacking in worries, performing a pas de deux
C
I am not right
Am
Yes this is what's right
F
Souls, and hearts and minds intertwined
C
I won't be defined by him anymore.
C
She was walking on eggshells
Am
And when push came to shove,
F
She was full of belonging
C
But not full of love.
C
So goodbye to tommy
Am
And hello to sam,

He doesn't wear glasses, but he loves how she dances

And he'll hold her hand.

She's walking on rivers

He lifts her above
