E 
 I'm coming back to start 
C#m                B           A   E 
   I'm counting back to the start 
C#m               B            A   E 
   The sound of guns when we part 
C#m           B               A   E 
   I'm in a race with this heart 


(Pre-Chorus) 


                 C#m  
Come under my skin 
                  B 
Rush through my face 
             A    E 
I need your light 
             C#m 
I've been chased 
               B 
To a stormy place 
                     A   E 
Shooting up to the sky

   You're all I've done, all my life! 
C#m                    B            A      E 
   And things aren't now what theeeey seem 
C#m                    B            A   E 
   We're kings and queens of my dreams 


(Pre-Chorus) 


                 C#m  
Come under my skin 
                  B 
Rush through my face

I need your light 
             C#m 
I've been chased

To a stormy place
