[Chorus]
Em      G       D           C
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Em                  G           D    C
Dreaming about the things that we could be

G
Like a swinging vine
D                 C
Swing my heart across the line
Em              G
In my face is flashing signs
D                C
Seek it out and ye shall find
Em               G
Old, but I'm not that old
D               C
Young, but I'm not that bold

And I don't think the world is sold

I'm just doing what we're told
Em           G
I feel something so right
   D               C
By doing the wrong thing
Em                  G
And I feel something so wrong
       D           C
By doing the right thing
Em     G    D       C   Em   G
I could lie, could lie, could lie

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus]

Em        G
I feel the love
D             C
And I feel it burn
Em          G   D     C
Down this river every turn
Em                  G
Hope is our four letter word
Em    G
Make that money
D         C
Watch it burn
Em        G  D    C
Old, but I'm not that old
Em        G   D   C
Young, but I'm not that bold
Em        G   D   C
And I don't think the world is sold
Em        G    D    C
I'm just doing what we're told
Em             G
And I feel something so wrong
D           C
By doing the right thing
Em     G    D       C   Em   G
I could lie, could lie, could lie
D     C     Em    G     D   C   Em  G
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
