Verse 1
[Dm] [Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7] [C6]
You [Dm]quiver like a [Bbmaj7]candle on [Bbmaj7]fire,[C6]
I'm putting you out,[Dm]
Maybe [Bbmaj7]tonight we could [Bbmaj7]be the last [C6]shout,
But I'm [Dm][Bbmaj7]fascinated by your [Bbmaj7]style,[C6]
Your [Dm]beauty will [Bbmaj7]last for a [Bbmaj7]while.[C6]
[Dm] [Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7] [C6]
You're [Dm]feeling [Bbmaj7]instead of [Bbmaj7]being.[C6]
The more that I [Dm]live on the [Bbmaj7]inside,
There's [Bbmaj7]nothing to [C6]give.
I'm [Dm][Bbmaj7]infatuated by your [Bbmaj7]moves,[C6]
I've [Dm]got to search [Bbmaj7]hard for your [Bbmaj7]clues.[C6]
[Dm] [Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7] [C6]
I [Dm]want to [Bbmaj7]repair your [Bbmaj7]desire.[C6]
And call it a [Dm]gift,
That I [Bbmaj7]stole from just [Bbmaj7]wanting to [C6]live.
Now I [Dm]see the [Bbmaj7]vision thru your [Bbmaj7]eyes,[C6]
Your [Dm]innocence [Bbmaj7]no longer [Bbmaj7]fuels...[C6] surprise.
[Dm] [Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7] [C6]
[Bbmaj7] [Am7] [Dm] [Am7]
[Bbmaj7] [Am7] [Dm] [Bbmaj7] [C6]
[Dm] [Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7] [C6]
[Dm]Trying to [Bbmaj7]outrun your [Bbmaj7]fears,[C6]
You're running to [Dm]lose,
Heart on your [Bbmaj7]sleeve and
Your [Bbmaj7]soul in your [C6]shoes.
Take a [Dm]left, a [Bbmaj7]sharp left,
And [Bbmaj7]another left.[C6]
[Dm]Meet me on the [Bbmaj7]corner,
We'll [Bbmaj7]start...[C6] again.
[Dm] [Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7] [C6]
