C 
Carelessly you pass the hours 
                                      F 
Humming songs you heard when you were young. 
C                                                  F  
Positively unattached, not even unattracted to the buzz. 

  C 
Elated with your lack of interest 
                                F 
What a wonderful and different song. 
C 
Show me why you're always smiling. 
                                 F 
Laugh again and make me fall in love 

C C* C (with 3rd fret on high E) 

C 
Oh just take me where you go. 
                      F 
When it gets dark without you I won't make it out 
                                C 
I don't think I'll make it out alive. 
I wanna run and hide, 
                   F 
With you tonight I know that I can make it out 
With you I know I'll make it out alive.

C 
Let me know your secret 
                                    F 
Tell me how you color all the empty space. 
C 
Drawn outside the lines, 
                                       F 
your words, a lively illustration you create. 

C C* C (x2, not exactly accurate but works well enough if you don't know the exact chords) 

Am               F                   G 
Chasing you, I'm falling through the rabbit hole, 
     C 
Deep down into an old slope. 
Am              F              G 
Evenly, you're pulling me ever faster as we go, 
C 
Spinning out of control 

C C* C 

C 
Oh just take me where you go. 
                      F 
When it gets dark without you I won't make it out 
                                C 
I don't think I'll make it out alive. 
I wanna run and hide, 
                   F 
With you tonight I know that I can make it out 
                                 C 
With you I know I'll make it out alive. 

Just take me where you go. 
                      F 
When it gets dark without you I won't make it out 
                                C 
I don't think I'll make it out alive. 
I wanna run and hide, 
                   F 
With you tonight I know that I can make it out 
With you I know I'll make it out alive.
