[Verse 1]

Em
I forget when words were only words
Em
she knows the party makes me nervous
Em
in this stage we can't get hurt
Em
don't try to understand me
C/G                   D/A
we're too cool to be alone
                          E9 E9   E9 E9
but, not too crazy to get busted
Em
I found out one life just ain't enough
Em
I need another soul to feed on
Em
I'm the flame I can't get burnt
Em
I'm wholly understated

[Pre-chorus]
C/G                     D/A
I found silence in this space
                      E9  E9       E9 E9
an on and off again attraction
C/G                 D/A
I need such amazing grace

heaven sweep me away

[Chorus]
E5                       G5
love don't change, don't come around here
              D5            C5
don't wear my heart on your sleeve
                   E5
like a high school letter
                  G5
don't strain, cuz nothing ever comes from it
        D5
and the people we've become, well
        C5
they've never been the people who we are

[Verse 2]
Em
I strap on one horse and prayed for luck
Em
I dug another hole to bleed
Em
I know exactly how this works
Em
I need a new feel dirty

[Pre-chorus]
C/G                             D/A
I don't need you crowding up my space
                   E9 E9        E9 E9
I just want to get inside you
C/G                             D/A
you can't believe the heart you save giving something away

[Verse 3]
E5
I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
                            C5
we sat on my back porch and watched it
E5
I dreamed that the buildings all fell down
                            C5
we sat on my back porch and watched it
E5                                    G5
I dreamed that the world was crumblin down
                            C5
we sat on my back porch and watched it
                       D5
in my head I heard the sound

like between strangers dancing

E5
but oh how I want you to know me
G5
oh how I want you to know me
D5
oh how I wish I was somebody else, baby
C5                      D5
oh how I wish you could own me
