Bm                                       A                G           
You took the tunnel route home, you've never; taken that way with me before. 
Bm                       A        G 
Did you feel the need for change? 
Bm                                   A               G   
Apologies on your fingernails, love flickered in the city of lights, 
Bm                       A       G 
Like good singers on radio waves 

Bm                    A     G 
I don't need your tears 
Bm                    A     G 
I don't want your love 
I just gotta get home. 

 
G                        D         A               G 
And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay, 
G                        D         A            G 
Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way, 
G                        D         A            Em 
I don't want you to hold me, I don't want you to pray, 
                     D    A 
This is bigger than us

You went where the horses cry, you've never taken that way with me before. 
                             A       G 
Did you feel the need for change? 
Bm                                     A                G             Bm 
Guilt smeared across your lips, I was tired and cold from the window 
                      A       G  
You're cold, nothing has changed. 

Bm              A       G 
I don't need your tears

I just gotta get home.

                      D          A              G 
Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way, 
                      D          A              Em 
I don't want you to hold me, I don't want you to pray,
