A
Come pick me up, I'll pay for gas
                               F#m
There's nowhere that I want to be
                 F#m
And you'll drive fast and I won't ask
                         D
To pick the music or the street
                         E
And we can talk about whatever
                          A
And pretend that we won't tell
                      A
Even pretending to ourselves
A
You think it's easy where it's darker
                      F#m
And I like to feel my heart
              F#m
Speed up with my eyes shut
                                        D
And feel we're doing something we should not
                          E
So for a time, I spend my life
                                A
Just trying to find out when to stop
               A
Just trying to guess when we'll get caught


[Chorus]
F#m
This place is suffocating
D
I'll still be here in 5 years
A                E
Like I promise I won't
            E
Through the wind in your ears
F#m
But nothing feels as urgent
D
And these nights are still important
A
And there's still a lot I haven't put into words yet


[Verse 2]
A
Every time I feel alive
                      F#m
It will feel just like this
             F#m
I'll get the things you did
                 D
Forget the boy I kissed by the hangar
    E                           A
And you'll both be strangers to me
A
Tonight it matters
                                     F#m
How I'm not a person who you want to see
                 F#m
'Cause I like to talk about the hospital
                    D
And go when I don't need it
                         E
Just to show the world I feel it
                   A
I only ever did it once
           A
And it was selfish, it was dumb
            A
But I can't bring myself to


[Bridge]
F#m
Hate me for wanting a break
D
I'll still be here in 5 years
A
Where I made every mistake
E
Sixteen trying to disappear
F#m                D
For one week and a half
                     A
You know it's all an act
                       A
'Cause there's still a lot I haven't put into words yet


[Chorus]
F#m
This place is suffocating
D
I'll still be here in 5 years
A                E
Like I promise I won't
            E
Through the wind in your ears
F#m
But nothing feels as urgent
D
And these nights are still important
A
And there's still a lot I haven't put into words yet
