Verse: 


E                          B 
I can't say that I'm the only one 

                 A 
Who's been the lonely one 

B                 A                 B 
This could not be further from the truth 


E                         B 
I want to run, into the burning sun 

                A 
and I'm not the only one 

B               A                 B 
stare up at the sky and think of you 

E                           B 
I want to drive as fast as I can 

          A           B            A 
Into some open land, bay up at the moon 

              B 
make love to you 

E                                   B 
Wanna stay alive cause this life's all I know 

           A 
its never dull or slow 

             B            A         B 
If I had the chance, I'd do it all again 


Chorus: 

E         B          A 
You must believe me, believe me when I say 

E             B      A 
These are our finest days 

E         B          A 
I want to hold you, as tight as I can 

E         B          A 
I want to see your face
