Chords relative to capo 
          Em              C              G
There's a lighting in your eyes, I can't deny
             Em           C            G
Then there's me inside a sinking boat running out of time
        Em             C           G
Without you I'll never make it out ali---ve
      Em          C            G
But I know, yes I know I'll be alright.
          Em            C                  G
There's a devil in your smile it's chasing me
    Em            C               G
And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed 
          Em              C        G
There's a moment when you finally reali---ze
           Em            C                G
There's no way you can change the rolling time
      Em          G               C
But I know, yes I know that I'll be fine.
G
This time I'm ready to run
C
Escape from the city and follow the sun
        C        G
Cause I wanna be yours
          C        G
Don't you wanna be mine?
        C         G            D           C
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night. 
G
This time I'm ready to run
   C
Wherever you are is the place I belong

and I wanna be loved
       C          G            D            Em    C    G
I will never look back now I'm rea---dy to run.
          Em           C             G
There's a future in my life I can't foresee
  Em                C                 G
Unless of course I stay on course and keep you next to me
           Em            C           G
There will always be the kind to critici---ze.
      Em          C              G
But I know, yes I know we'll be alright.
