 G-  Em-  Bm-  C[x2]
This Gescapee was never gonna Emstay
On an Bmunfamiliar building on the Crooftop where we lay
Where all the Gconstellations shine to pave the Emway
TempBmtation's not a word until we've Clet it go a stray
And I won't deGlete itEm  
He won't deBmlete it, Cwha-ha-ho!
GLight bolts hover over you all Emday
Oh Bmdarkness can be difficult like Cneedles in the hay
I need to Gflick the switch and show you how to Emhide
And Bmlove is not the answer if you're Ctaking me for a
GRi-i-i-iEm-ideBm  C  
For a Gri-i-i-iEm-ideBm  C  
This Gescapee was never gonna Emstay
On an Bmisland way too difficult to Cbe stuck in a daze
And all the Gcompetition's overcome what Emmay
TempBmtation's not a word until we've Clet it go astray
And I won't deGlete itEm  
He won't deBmlete it, Cwha-ha-ho!
      G               Em
I'm esBmcaping, you're esCcaping
      G             Em
I'm esBmcaping, you're Ctaking me for a

For a Gri-i-i-iEm-ide
I'm esBmcaping, you're esCcaping
For a Gri-i-i-iEm-ide
I'm esBmcaping, you're esCcaping
For a Gri-i-i-iEm-ide
I'm esBmcaping, you're esCcaping
      G               Em
I'm esBmcaping, you're esCcaping
