E     A

[Verse 1]
         E                                         A
I try to hold my breath but she reads between the lines
              E                                  A
Cause she loves cocaine and the nineteen seventy-five
      C#m                                         A
And I should know better but I'm blown away
           E                                A
When I can hold my own I might come back someday

       E                                               A
Try to make the ends meet in the streets I've never seen
      E                                 A
I blurred out lies and I don't know why
      C#m                            A
Get out of my head and I'll get out of yours
         C#m                                          A
You've learned so much from the back of your credit card

[Chorus]
E
Should I bide my time?
                        A
Should I bite my tongue?
                                           E
What if I let go and everything went wrong?

Maybe she's in pain?
                 A
Maybe she needs love?
                                                     C#m
Cause all the love I feel I've got enough for both of us

Have I said too much?
                     A
Does she think I'm lying?
                                    C#m
Has she ever seen a man struck by lightning?
                                          A
And I'll never ever ever ever ever be the same

[Verse 2]
          E                                         A
I try to hold my breath but she reads between the lines
         E                                   A
Cos she loves cocaine and the nineteen seventy-five
    C#m                                    A
And I should know better but I'm petrified
          C#m                                              A
Cause it's only when she's halfway dead that she feels so alive

[Chorus]
E
Should I bide my time?
                        A
Should I bite my tongue?
                                           E
What if I let go and everything went wrong?

Maybe she's in pain?
                 A
Maybe she needs love?
                                                      C#m
Cause all the love I feel I've got enough for both of us

Have I said too much?
                     A
Does she think I'm lying?
                                     C#m
Has she ever seen a man struck by lightning?
                                          A
And I'll never ever ever ever ever be the same

[Bridge]
E                                                     A
She missed her train she was sat in the front of the car when she laughed I laughed too so infectious
   E                                                   A
I said you're an addict she called me pretentious for using big words the hypocrisy's tragic
      C#m               B             E
I've lost my lid in the way that she lives
A                                         B
I hate what she takes but I love what she gives me
     C#m
My seatbelts on, has the moment gone?

Cause for a second it was magic
                      E
For a second it was magic

[Chorus]

So I'll take my time
                     A
And I'll wait my turn
                                             E
And I let her know before I get myself burned

Maybe she needs me
              A
Maybe I need her
                                                               C#m
With all this second-hand love I've got enough for the both of us

Cause I said too much
                    A
And she thinks I'm lying
                                              C#m
Has she ever seen a man when he's been set on fire
                                            A
And I'll never ever ever ever ever ever be the same

                        E
And I'll never see her again
                        A
And I'll never see her again
                        C#m
And I'll never see her again
  A
Again, again, again
