Intro: Eb C Fm Bb Verse 1: (nc) Every car I get into could crash C But, oh man, do I love going fast Fm There’s a chance that this plane’s going down Bb But I don’t wanna stay on the ground Eb Since I found myself another half C Part of me says don’t get too attached Fm What if time’s gonna number our days Bb Guess my heart’s gonna break either way Chorus: Eb Love is a risk C But what’s the alternative? Fm Maybe sleeping at night all alone Bb Going it all on my own Eb Life is a risk (Ah, ah, ah) C But what’s the alternative? (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Fm When the planet keeps spinning around Bb I’d be somewhere missing out Interlude: Eb Bb Ab Gm Ab Verse 2: Eb Life is short, things could change in a blink C Every time I jump in I might sink Fm But what better way to learn how to swim Bb So screw it, I’m diving back in Chorus: Eb Love is a risk C But what’s the alternative? Fm Maybe sleeping at night all alone Bb Going it all on my own Eb Life is a risk (Ah, ah, ah) C But what’s the alternative? (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Fm When the planet keeps spinning around Bb I’d be somewhere missing out Interlude: Eb Bb Ab Gm Ab Bridge: Cm Fm Cm There’s some days I can’t believe you’re really gone Bb It’s tempting me to Cm Fm Cm Bb Build a fort out of our sheets to stay inside and never leave Chorus: (nc) Eb Love is a risk (Ah, ah, ah) C But what’s the alternative? (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Fm Maybe sleeping at night all alone Bb Going it all on my own Eb Life is a risk (life is a risk) (Ah, ah, ah) C But what’s the alternative? (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Fm When the planet keeps spinning around Bb I’d be somewhere missing out Outro: Eb Bb Ab Gm Ab Eb Bb Ab Gm Abm What’s the alternative?
