[Intro]
E
[Verse]
EFor stumbling through a mess of dancesB  
For squandering my second chancesC#m  
For wrecking every dream
And breaking Aeverything I ever had
Oooh yeah
[Chorus]
EI'm reckless and senseless
I've jumped all the fences
BAbandoned all the rules
And crashed like a fool
Out C#mof control
So criminal
You cAould've let me drown
But you reached your hand out
And you Emet me in the fire
You fanned the flames up higher
Could've Bleft me for dead
But you pulled me from the edge
For lC#moving me the way you do
AI know I'm reckless
But you must be reckless, tEoo
[Verse 2]
EFor trusting me when I wasn't worth itB  
Forgiving me when I didn't deserve itC#m  
For looking in my eyes and sAeeing the soul inside and
Crying, crying, crying
[Chorus]
EI'm reckless and senseless
I've jumped all the fences
BAbandoned all the rules
And crashed like a fool
Out C#mof control
So criminal
You cAould've let me drown
But you reached your hand out
And you Emet me in the fire
You fanned the flames up higher
Could've Bleft me for dead
But you pulled me from the edge
For lC#moving me the way you do
AI know I'm reckless
But you must be reckless, tEoo
[Solo] 
E B C#m A
[Verse]
EAnyone else would've run, run, run, run
BAnyone else would've been done, done, done, done
C#mAnyone else would've stepped on the gas and
ADrove away so fast and put me in the past 'cause baby
[Chorus]
EI'm reckless and senseless
I've jumped all the fences
BAbandoned all the rules
And crashed like a fool
Out C#mof control
So criminal
You cAould've let me drown
But you reached your hand out
And you Emet me in the fire
You fanned the flames up higher
Could've Bleft me for dead
But you pulled me from the edge
For lC#moving me the way you do
AI know I'm reckless
But you must be reckless, tEoo

[Intro]

[Verse]

E B

For stumbling through a mess of dances

C#m

For squandering my second chances

For wrecking every dream

And breaking everything I ever had

Oooh yeah

[Chorus]

I'm reckless and senseless

I've jumped all the fences

Abandoned all the rules

And crashed like a fool

C#m

Out of control

So criminal

You could've let me drown

But you reached your hand out

And you met me in the fire

You fanned the flames up higher

Could've left me for dead

But you pulled me from the edge

C#m

For loving me the way you do

I know I'm reckless

But you must be reckless, too

[Verse 2]

E B

For trusting me when I wasn't worth it

C#m

Forgiving me when I didn't deserve it

For looking in my eyes and seeing the soul inside and

Crying, crying, crying

[Chorus]

I'm reckless and senseless

I've jumped all the fences

Abandoned all the rules

And crashed like a fool

C#m

Out of control

So criminal

You could've let me drown

But you reached your hand out

And you met me in the fire

You fanned the flames up higher

Could've left me for dead

But you pulled me from the edge

C#m

For loving me the way you do

I know I'm reckless

But you must be reckless, too

[Solo]

[Verse]

Anyone else would've run, run, run, run

Anyone else would've been done, done, done, done

Drove away so fast and put me in the past 'cause baby

[Chorus]

I'm reckless and senseless

I've jumped all the fences

Abandoned all the rules

And crashed like a fool

C#m

Out of control

So criminal

You could've let me drown

But you reached your hand out

And you met me in the fire

You fanned the flames up higher

Could've left me for dead

But you pulled me from the edge

C#m

For loving me the way you do

I know I'm reckless

But you must be reckless, too
