verse 1

Somebody broke me once, love was a currency

A shimmering balance act, I think that I laughed at that
Am
And I saw your face and hands, coloured in sun and then
F
I think I understand, will I understand?
Pre-Chorus 1
C C
Will we fight, stay up late, in my dreams I'm to blame
F F
Different sides of the bed, roll your eyes, shave my head
Am Am
Now we're stuck in the storm, we were born to ignore
F
And all I got is a chance to just sit
C
(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money

I slept on my own those nights, was still in my parent's house

I think I understand, will I understand?
