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

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)

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
