Intro:

BR Bbm Db Ab R1 Bbm Db Ab R2

Basic chord progression over lyrics: Bbm Db Ab

You wrap your arms around R1
A feeling that surrounds R2
Like liquid peppermint R1
Just taste the drinks that she served Bbm Db Ab

And this feeling shimmers down your spine
Love comes in colors I can't deny
All that matters is love, love, your love BR

You're sleeping in your bed R2
Just rest your weary head R1
Maybe you shouldn't care R2
Throw away those dreams and dare

Solo (kind of; there is some singing over this):
