[B] [E] [B] [A]
[D] I [A] bring you renegade [D] stories and you tell me [A] that I'm crazy and [D] wild
You say [A] that I lack [G] maturity, stop acting [A] like a child
[D] But you [A] know I am a [D] liar and my promises [A] don't get in my way
[D] It feels so [A] good when you're in my [G] arms, and the one right thing I can say
Is make you [E] wanna stay

[A] [D] [A] me that you [D] love me back
The same [A] way you live, [D] your hopes are [A] tight, your fingers [G] broken
I take more [A] than I can give, [D] but it's [A] heartbeat, you heart [D] beat
Motion shuffle, [A] still and true, [D] it's [A] hand to mouth [G] sometimes
If you run out enough, someday baby, find some [E] room to move
