[Verse 1]

Behind a velvet rope, we hide in plain sight

We're dressed in black smoke, and have our hands tied

She says, "I see you babe," but we are both blind

E5 C#5

Our bodies yearning for what we cannot find

E5 C#5

The end is beginning and I'm falling

So take it or leave it cause I'm all in

[Chorus]

A5 E5 C#5 B5

We're too young to die today, to die today

A5 E5 C#5 B5

But we're too broken to fly away, to fly away

A5 E5 C#5

Cause we both know better than to set ourselves on fire

All in the name of love

A5 E5 C#5 B5 E5

We're too young to be afraid to fly like burning doves

[Verse 2]

You've been on your knees praying for so long

When you close your eyes the words do not come

C#5 E5

The end is beginning and you're falling

C#5 B5

So take it or leave it cause I'm all in

[Chorus]

A5 E5 C#5 B5

We're too young to die today, to die today

A5 E5 C#5 B5

But we're too broken to fly away, to fly away

A5 E5 C#5

Cause we both know better than to set ourselves on fire

All in the name of love

A5 E5 C#5 B5

We're too young to be afraid to fly like burning doves

[Bridge]

F#5 A5

C#5 B5 F#5 A5

If you can show me love, yeah I can lift you up

C#5 B5 F#5

And if you call my name, then I can see again

A5 C#5

And I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the things we've done

B5 F#5

We're falling, we're falling from a burning Sun

A5 C#5

We flew too high looking for love

We knew the skies, but not well enough

[Chorus]

A5 E5 C#5 B5

We're too young to die today, to die today

A5 E5 C#5 B5

But we're too broken to fly away, to fly away

A5 E5 C#5

Cause we both know better than to set ourselves on fire

All in the name of love

A5 E5 C#5 B5

We're too young to be afraid to fly like burning doves
