[INTRO]

Bsus4

[VERSE 1]

See you in the dark

Asus2

All eyes on you, my magician

All eyes on us

Asus2

You make everyone disappear, and

Cut me into pieces

Asus2

Gold cage, hostage to my feelings

Back against the wall

Asus2

Trippin', trip-trippin' when you're gone

[PRECHORUS]

Bsus4

'Cause we break down a little

Asus2

But when you get me alone, it's so simple

'Cause baby, I know what you know

Asus2

We can feel it

[CHORUS]

And all our pieces fall

Right into place

Get caught up in a moment

Lipstick on your face

So it goes

I'm yours to keep

And I'm yours to lose

You know I'm not a bad girl, but I

Do bad things with you

So it goes

[VERSE 2]

Met you in a bar

Asus2

All eyes on me, your illusionist

All eyes on us

Asus2

I make all your grey days clear

And wear you like a necklace

Asus2

I'm so chill, but you make me jealous

But I got your heart

Asus2

Skippin', skip-skippin' when I'm gone
