Intro
Am


Verse 1
                               Dm
I tried my best to not let you go
                 G
I don't like the view

From halfway down
     Am                          Dm
Just promise me that it won't be slow
            G
Will I feel the impact of the ground?
  Am                                    Dm
I tried to be something that I'll never be
    Em
Why waste another precious hour?

Why waste another precious ounce?
    Am                             Dm
I'd rather leave somewhat of a legacy
      G
Familiar

A thought that's so familiar


Chorus
                Am             Dm
Let me close my eyes with dignity
             Em
Let's end it all, the world's not far behind
   Am
So what's the point of staying?
     Dm                    G
It's going up in flames, I know

Yes, I know, ooh
      Am
Oh-oh-oh


Segue
       Am Dm E7
Hey-hey
E7     Am Dm
  Oh-oh
   E7 Am
(Hey)


Verse 2
             Dm        E7       Am
Just hold my heartbeat close to you
         Dm            E7        Am
Remember how it always beats for you
            Dm     E7       Am
I'm falling at the speed of light
            Dm                E7          Am
I'm staring at your shrinking face, don't cry
            F       G        Am
You know my heart belongs to you
         F              G           Am
One last time, say that you want me too
         F          G       D
The only words that gave me life
         G                    Am
Now I'll see you on the other side


Bridge

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

I'm running away

Oh-oh
       F
Hey-hey
                               G
It's a threat, not a promise? (Mmm)
                            Am   Em
If you're looking for rage (Mmm, oh)
                      F G
If you're looking for ragin'
          Am Em
Quiet for days
                      F
Baby, you're running away
    G
Ayy-yeah
                     Am
