[Verse 1]
F#m C#m
You know the way my blood runs
E B
Cause darlin’ you’re the only one
F#m C#m
Can you and I go somewhere?
E B
Go somewhere we can be alone
F#m C#m
Lying like John and Yoko
E B
Or fake our deaths and leave
F#m C#m
Am I tripping, are you with me?
E B
Cause darlin’ you’re the only one
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m
The world is going mad
E B
You and I can hide away
F#m C#m
I can’t stand the TV screen
E
Turn it off, pull the plug
B
They can try, they won’t find us
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
Slow down your heartbeat
E B
Close your eyes and don’t speak
F#m C#m
And lay with my body
E B
Play dead, play dead with me
F#m C#m
No need to escape
E B
We can find our own way
F#m C#m
You got me hiding in cupboards
E B
Play dead, play dead with me
[Verse 2]
F#m C#m
We’ll stock up some rations
E B
So we don’t have to leave this room
F#m C#m
I’m dead, don’t care what happens
E B
As long as I’m in here wth you
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m
Cause the world is going mad
E B
You and I should hide away
F#m C#m
I can’t stand the TV screen
E
Turn it off, pull the plug
B
They can try, they won’t find us
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
Slow down your heartbeat
E B
Close your eyes and don’t speak
F#m C#m
And lay with my body
E B
Play dead, play dead with me
F#m C#m
No need to escape
E B
We can find our own way
F#m C#m
You got me hiding in cupboards
E B
Play dead, play dead with me
[Bridge]
F#m C#m
You know that I was quiet
E B
We’ll walk outside into the show
F#m C#m
We’ll run a light in thousands
E B
Cause everybody else is growing old
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
Slow down your heartbeat
E B
Close your eyes and don’t speak
F#m C#m
And lay with my body
E B
Play dead
F#m C#m
Slow down your heartbeat
E B
Close your eyes and don’t speak
F#m C#m
And lay with my body
E B
Play dead, play dead with me
F#m C#m
No need to escape
E B
We can find our own way
F#m C#m
You got me hiding in cupboards
E B
Play dead, play dead with me
F#m C#m
Play dead with me
E B
Play dead, play dead with me
