Intro 
C                      G                     F 
  And we keep speeding, and we keep speeding 
C                      G                     F 
  And we keep crashing, and we keep crashing

  And we keep reaching, and we keep reaching 
C                    G                       F 
  And we keep crying, 'til we start laughing 

       C        G          F 
Long before my fall from grace 
       C        G         F 
For a piece of me, they appeared 
         C            G       F 
From the throat, I'm tied to you 
       C          G          F 
All of us, still cracked in two

Am                               C 
   And the ones in the back cry "wait for me"

Am                            C 
   We reach for the things we idolize 
G                               Dm 
   But the rings are just for show 
Am                         C 
   Her beauty is a form of charity 
G                                   Dm
