Capo 1st fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Somebody broke Cme once, love was a currency
A shimmering balance Fact, I think that I laughed at that
And I saw your face Amand hands, colored in sun and then
I think I unFderstand, will I understand?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Will we fight, Cstay up late, in my dreams CI'm to blame
Different sides Fof the bed, roll your eyes, Fshake my head
Now we're stuck Amin the storm, we were born Amto ignore
And all I got Fis a chance to just sit
[Chorus 1]
(I'm in love and you've got me, runaCway)
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me Ffeel it
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the Amsecrets
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the Fmoney, don't take the money
[Verse 2]
I slept on my own Cthose nights, was still in my parent's house
And I cut off my t-Fshirt sleeves and claim a new continent
'Til I saw your face Amand hands covered in sun and then
I think I unFderstand, will I understand?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Will we fight, Cstay up late, in my dreams I'm to blame
Different sides Fof the bed, roll your eyes, shake my head
Now we're stuck Amin the storm, we were born Amto ignore
And all I got Fis a chance to just sit
[Chorus 2]
(I'm in love and you've got me, runaCway)
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me Ffeel it
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the Amsecrets
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the Fmoney, don't take the money
(I'm in love and you've got me, runaCway)
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me Ffeel it
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the Amsecrets
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the Fmoney, don't take the money
[Bridge]
   CWhen you're looking at your shadow, standing on the edge of yourFself
Praying on the darkness, just don't take the Ammoney
Dreaming of an easy, waking up without weight nowF  
And you're looking at the heartless, just don't take the Cmoney
[Chorus 3 – with Lorde]
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me Ffeel it
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the Amsecrets
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the Fmoney, don't take the money
(I'm in love and you've got me, runaCway)
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me Ffeel it
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the Amsecrets
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the Fmoney, don't take the money
[Outro]
Just don't take the Cmoney
Just don't take the Fmoney
Just don't take the Ammoney
Just don't take the Fmoney
Just don't take the Cmoney

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Somebody broke me once, love was a currency

A shimmering balance act, I think that I laughed at that

And I saw your face and hands, colored in sun and then

I think I understand, will I understand?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

C C

Will we fight, stay up late, in my dreams I'm to blame

F F

Different sides of the bed, roll your eyes, shake my head

Am Am

Now we're stuck in the storm, we were born to ignore

And all I got is a chance to just sit

[Chorus 1]

(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money

[Verse 2]

I slept on my own those nights, was still in my parent's house

And I cut off my t-shirt sleeves and claim a new continent

'Til I saw your face and hands covered in sun and then

I think I understand, will I understand?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Will we fight, stay up late, in my dreams I'm to blame

Different sides of the bed, roll your eyes, shake my head
