Verse 1:
Am Dm G Am
You are, a getaway car, rush of blood to the head
A7 Dm G C-G/B
and but me, I’m just the covers on top of your bed
Am Dm G Am
You steer in a rear view mirror, make my head swim
A7 Dm G
I keep you warm and not ask you, where– you’ve been
Refrain:
Am Dm G Am
With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
Am Dm G Am
When it’s said and done, we’re all scrambling
Am Dm G Am
And we’re, friends, we’re friends
Am Dm Bb
Just because we move u—nits
Chorus 2:
C G/B F
Strike, us like matches, ‘cuz everyone deserves the flames
Am G F
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
C G/B F
At least everyone is trying, (everyone is shining)
Am G F
Everyone deserves the flames, but it’s such a shame Such a shame

“Oh yeah, you caught me” But I caught you on worse oh
