Bm G D
There's a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
Bm G D
Then there's me inside a sinking boat running out of time
Bm G D
Without you I'll never make it out alive
Bm G D
But I know yes I know we’ll be alright
Bm G D
There's a devil in your smile that's chasing me
Bm G D
And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed
Bm G D
There's a moment when you finally realize
Bm G D
There's no way you can change the rolling tide
Bm A G
But I know yes I know that I'll be fine
D
This time I'm ready to run (RUN!)
G
Escape from this city and follow the sun
G D G D
Cuz I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine

I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night

Wherever you are is the place I belong

Cuz I wanna be free and I wanna be young
G D
I'll never look back now

I'm re--ady to run
Bm G D
I'm ready to run
Bm G D
There’s a future in my life I can't forsee
Bm G D
Unless of course I stay on course and keep you next to me
Bm G D
There will always be the kind that criticize
Bm G D
But I know yes I know we'll be alright

Easiest -2 Just repeat the chorus at the end
i think on the part where is say “don’t want to be lost in the dark of the night” sounds better if it is G D A D not G D A G
plucking same as story of my life just the chord F added to it
