E G (2x)
VERSE:
E G
He is like fire, burning through time
E G
As old as forever, but fast in his prime
E G
I saw his blue spaceship materialise
E G
He stepped out and said to me, "run for your life!"
PRE-CHORUS:
C Fmaj7 E G
I don't know why I never thought to ask him for his name
C Fmaj7 D7
But I really don't think he'd have told me the truth anyway
G
But you know, that's ok
[Refrão]
Am E
It's completely terrifying but it's so so exciting
Dm Fmaj7 G
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
Am E
So many places I've been and there's so much more to see
Dm G
We've got galaxies and planets and moons
E G
And an awful lot of running to do
VERSE:
E G
As a full-time companion he gave me a key
E G
And a phone with a signal in every galaxy
E G
As we fell through the vortex I felt so free
E G
Please don't let this danger just be another dream
PRE-CHORUS:
C Fmaj7 E G
Because my life before you was unreasonably mundane
C Fmaj7 D7
I've never been happier although we face death every day
G
I wouldn't have it any other way
[Refrão]
Am E
It's completely terrifying but it's so so exciting
Dm Fmaj7 G
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
Am E
So many places I've been and there's so much more to see
Dm G
We've got galaxies and planets and moons
E G
And an awful lot of running to do
BRIDGE:
E G
E G
You know you can fix that chameleon circuit if you just try hotwiring the
E
fragment links and superseding
G
the binary binary binary binary binary binary binary...
[Refrão]
Am E
It's completely terrifying but it's so so exciting
Dm Fmaj7 G
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
Am E
So many places I've been and there's so much more to see
Dm G
We've got galaxies and planets and moons
E G
And an awful lot of running to do
