Cm                         
Cigarette ash like wildfire
                              G#
Burning holes in the nighttime
                              G#
Open scars cut like barbed wire
White lies flying high like a ceasefire
Cm                         
Dropping flags on the shoreline
                                  G#
This is as far as I can feel right
                  G#
'Cos what you don't know
Can haunt you

    Cm               
And all we ever wanted
    D#9
Was sunlight and honesty
        G#
Highlights to want to repeat
Let's get away from here and
Cm
Live like the movies do
   D#9                      G#
I won't mind when it's over
At least I didn't think for a while

            Cm
So let's run
Make a great escape
               D#9
And I'll be waiting outside for the getaway
           G#
It doesn't matter who we are
            G#
We'll keep running through the dark
         Cm
And all we'll ever need is another day
       D#9
We can slow down 'cos tomorrow is a mile away
     G#
And live like shooting stars
     G#
'Cos happy endings are just a phase

Cm                
Sunsets on power lines
                                G#
Making a break for the other side
                                 G#
Heading out to where that sunshine
45 millimeter rolling like we lost time
Cm
Polaroids and outcast
                                      G#
Rather burn out young than grow up fast
                                   G#
And we could be forever future-bound
'Cos all I need is time and now and I could leave this past behind me

'Cos everything was never the same

And I want to let you know

I want to let you go
                 D#9                 G#
But I just can't bring myself to speak
                     Cm
But this is how it goes

The end credits they roll
                 D#9              G#
This bridge was built over kerosene
But we can watch it
