[Intro]
C#m E B F#
[Verse 1]
People wonder, people C#mtalk
We're supposed to settle Edown
How we ever got this Bfar
Without our feet touching the F#ground
What time is it now where you C#mare?
We follow beats with different Edrums
We're looking at the same Bstar
It is a talent staying F#young
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So why you think C#mwe both
Run around Ein circles
Walk Bthrough fire
NoF#thing hurts us
[Chorus]
Every C#mmountain you climb takes you further away
EOvercome a lifetime, every day
No, Bwe can't help it
We're aF#lways restless
Now you're C#mwired then you're tired
There is never a break
You Eonly come alive at the thrill of the chase
No, Bwe can't help it
We're aF#lways restless
[Verse 2]
C#mTry to keep it all up in the Eair
You ruin it when you ask Bwhy
You know it's not that I don't F#care
I don't get jealous, I get C#mfree
Everything good comes baEck to me
It seems like wherever you Bare
Is just a better place to F#be
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So why you think C#mwe both
Run arEound in circles
Will Byou meet me
In F#the middle?
[Chorus]
Every C#mmountain you climb takes you further away

[Verse 1]

C#m

People wonder, people talk

We're supposed to settle down

How we ever got this far

Without our feet touching the ground

What time is it now where you are?

We follow beats with different drums

We're looking at the same star

It is a talent staying young

[Pre-Chorus 1]

So why you think we both

Run around in circles

Walk through fire

Nothing hurts us

[Chorus]

Every mountain you climb takes you further away

Overcome a lifetime, every day

No, we can't help it

We're always restless

Now you're wired then you're tired

There is never a break

You only come alive at the thrill of the chase

No, we can't help it

We're always restless

[Verse 2]

Try to keep it all up in the air

You ruin it when you ask why

You know it's not that I don't care

I don't get jealous, I get free

Everything good comes back to me

It seems like wherever you are

Is just a better place to be

[Pre-Chorus 2]

So why you think we both

Run around in circles

Will you meet me

In the middle?

[Chorus]

Every mountain you climb takes you further away

Overcome a lifetime, every day

No, we can't help it

You only come alive at the thrill of the chase

No, we can't help it

We're always restless

When the credits roll down slow

You only come alive at the thrill of the chase

No, we can't help it

We're always restless
