When I was surrounded by the world
You were the only one who came
And you were the only one astounded
Which kept me grounded
As the other girls thrashed my very name

Then I looked over
Just in time to see her smiling back at me
And saying everything's OK

As long as you're inside my blue veins
Your blue veins
Dm
Yeah and the feeling that you gave me
No matter what I do or where I go
Am
It always will remain
Dm
And those who would enslave me to get to me must get past you and will have no luck
Am
Cause you'll protect me from all pain
C B7
The most beautiful, yeah the most beautiful thing cause anything else can't compare
Amin
Must be the blood that's running through your blue vein
Your blue veins
???????????????? <------- backwards part
Am
Your blue veins
Dm
And I know you won't deceive me
Am
Like the rest and there's nothing you need to explain
Dm
You always were the first one to believe me
When I said to you girl
Am
I think it's gonna rain
But I could be wrong
C
Yeah but all of these things
All these things
B7
They're all truly nice but ain't nothing
Amin
Ain't nothing compared to the love that's running through your little blue veins
Your blue veins
End on Amin
