[Intro]
F#m
[Verse 1]
BmSo you got away
DSomething brought you back
F#mTo the kid that you were
BmFor a couple days
DEverything you lacked
F#mYou possessed
F#mIt was yours
[Pre-Chorus]
BmStarted slow, started late
EStarted strong then we lost faith
BmStarted slow, started to Elose control
The more we accelerate
[Verse 2]
BmWith your hollow eyes
DYou keep coming back
F#mIt begins to transform
BmCan you spend the night?
DCan you be the raft
F#mIn the eye of the storm?
[Pre-Chorus]
BmStarted slow, started late
EStarted strong then we lost faith
BmStarted slow, started to Elose control
EThe more we accelerate
EThe more we accelerate
[Chorus]
Can I F#msend this kiss right to you now?
'Cause Athe risk belongs with you somehow
Can I F#mreturn this kiss that you gave?
AlreadC#y know it’s borrC#7owed anyway
Was thDe risk I sent to you received?
Are thAe words we say to be believed?
I’m alEready over the thrill of pursuit
Where Dcan I take the risk I took with you?
Send tDhis kiss to someone new?
[Instrumental] x2
Bm   D   F#m
[Verse 3]
BmSo you're beaten up
DBut you bounce back
F#mIt’s all part of the pull
BmAnd the story runs
DLike a soundtrack
F#mWe repeat 'til we're full
[Pre-Chorus]
BmStarted slow, started late
EStarted strong then we lost faith
BmStarted slow, started to Elose control
EThe more we accelerate
EThe more we accelerate
