F# C# G#
I was never out to save the world
I just want to get to know you
F# C# G#
We could disappear just say the word
F# C# G#
And if you have the time maybe we can talk
Wait up for the sunrise
F# C# G#
Watch the city burn from the rooftops
Cross our hearts and hope to die
F# C# G#
One day we're gonna leave this all behind
Driving down the coast at ninety-nine
F# C# G#
We were searching for a place we could never find
F# G#
But when the sun comes up at dawn
Fm A#m
Take me home
F# G#
And when the moment's come and gone
Fm A#m
Take me home
F# C# G#
I was never trying to be a hero
I just wanted you to turn around
F# C# G#
Cause we could die tonight and you would never know
If I don't say this now
F# C# G#
Cause we were gonna leave this all behind
Driving down the coast at ninety-nine
F# C# G#
We were so close, I could taste it
But some promises are made for breaking
F# G#
But when the sun comes up at dawn
Fm A#m
Take me home
F# G#
And when the moment's come and gone
Fm A#m
Take me home
F# G#
Cause all the stars are burning out
Fm A#m
And our time is counting down
F# G#
All we have is here and now
Fm
We're counting down
A#m
We're counting down
F# G# Fm A#m
F# G# Fm A#m
I was never out to save the world
F# G# Fm A#m
We can live tonight just say the word
F# G#
But when the sun comes up at dawn
Fm A#m
Take me home
F# G#
And when the moment's come and gone
Fm A#m
Take me home
F# G#
But when the sun comes up at dawn
Fm A#m
Take me home
F# G#
And when the moment's come and gone
Fm A#m
Take me home
F# G#
Cause all the stars are burning out
Fm A#m
And our time is counting down
F# G#
All we have is here and now

We're counting down

We're counting down
