Intro: C#m7 Am C#m7 (2x)
C#m7
Am C#m7
That slow burn wait while it gets dark
Am C#m7
Bruising the sun
Am C#m7
I feel grown up with you in your car
Am C#m7
I know it's dumb
Am C#m7 Am C#m7 Am C#m7 C#m7
Oooooooooooooooooh ooooooooooh
Am C#m7 Am
We've both got a million bad habits to kick
C#m7
- not sleeping is one
Am C#m7 Am
We're biting our nails; you're biting my lip
C#m7
I'm biting my tongue
Am C#m7 Am C#m7 Am C#m7
Oooooooooooooooooh ooooooooooh
Am C#m7
(People are talking, people are talking)
Am C#m7
Raise a glass 'cause I'm not done saying it
Am C#m7
They all wanna get rough, get away with it -
Am C#m7
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
Am
World alone
C#m7
We're alone
Am C#m7
All my fake friends and all of their noise
Am C#m7
complain about work -
Am C#m7
they're studying business, I study the floor
C#m7 Am C#m7
and you haven't stopped smoking all night
Am C#m7
Maybe the Internet raised us
Am C#m7 Am
or maybe people are jerks (People are talking, people are talking)
C#m7 Am C#m7
But not you (People are talking, people are talking)
Am C#m7
Raise a glass 'cause I'm not done saying it
Am C#m7
They all wanna get rough, get away with it -
Am C#m7
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
Am
World alone
C#m7
We're alone
Am C#m7
All the double-edged people and schemes
Am C#m7
They make a mess, then go home and get clean
Am C#m7
You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone
Am
World alone
C#m7
We're all alone
Am C#m7
C#m7 Am C#m7
C#m7 Am C#m7
I know we're no - ot everlasting
C#m7 Am C#m7
We're a train wreck waiting to happen
C#m7 Am C#m7
One day the blood won't flow so gladly
C#m7 Am C#m7
One day we'll all get still (People are talking, people are talking)
C#m7 Am C#m7 Am C#m7 Am C#m7 C#m7
Get still (Oooooooooooooooooh ooooooooooh)
Am C#m7 Am C#m7 Am C#m7 C#m7
Oooooooooooooooooooooh ooooooooooh

All the double-edged people and schemes
Am C#m7
They make a mess, then go home and get clean

Am
World alone
C#m7
We're all alone
(People are talking, people are talking)
(People are talking, people are talking)
(People are talking, people are talking)
(People are talking, people are talking)
Let 'em talk
