Intro: Db

Verse 1:
              Db
Somebody broke me once, love was a currency
                    Gb
a shimmering balance act, I think that I laughed at that
                   Bbm
And I saw your face and hands, colored in sun and then
            Gb
I think I understand, will I understand?

Pre-Chorus 1:
              Db                          Db
Will we fight, stay up late, in my dreams I'm to blame
               Gb                           Gb
Different sides of the bed, roll your eyes, shake my head
               Bbm                         Bbm
Now we're stuck in the storm, we were born to ignore
             Gb
And all I got is a chance to just sit

Chorus 1:
                                    Db
-I'm in love and you've got me, runaway-
                                               Gb
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it
                                            Bbm
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets
                                               Gb
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money

Verse 2:
                 Db
I slept on my own those nights, was still in my parent's house
                   Gb
And I cut off my t-shirt sleeves and claim a new continent
                    Bbm
'Til I saw your face and hands covered in sun and then
            Gb
I think I understand, will I understand?

Pre-Chorus 2:
              Db
Will we fight, stay up late, in my dreams I'm to blame
               Gb
Different sides of the bed, roll your eyes, shake my head
               Bbm                         Bbm
Now we're stuck in the storm, we were born to ignore
             Gb
And all I got is a chance to just sit

Chorus 2:
                                    Db
-I'm in love and you've got me, runaway-
                                               Gb
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it
                                            Bbm
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets
                                               Gb
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money


                                    Db
-I'm in love and you've got me, runaway-
                                               Gb
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it
                                            Bbm
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets
                                               Gb
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money

Bridge:
Db                                                                  Gb
   When you're looking at your shadow, standing on the edge of yourself
                                             Bbm
Praying on the darkness, just don't take the money
                                                  Gb
Dreaming of an easy, waking up without weight now
                                                         Db
And you're looking at the heartless, just don't take the money

Chorus 3 – with Lorde:
                                               Gb
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it
                                            Bbm
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets
                                               Gb
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money


                                    Db
-I'm in love and you've got me, runaway-
                                               Gb
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it
                                            Bbm
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets
                                               Gb
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money

Outro:
                    Db
Just don't take the money
                    Gb
Just don't take the money
                    Bbm
Just don't take the money
                    Gb
Just don't take the money
                    Db
Just don't take the money
