[Verse]
I've been lost
C G
Staring at the ceiling

Here it comes

And it's cruel
F
Now I'm lost, ooh

And it's true
Am F
Now I'm riding high on a fever

It's you
Am F
Like a wave, it hits, I go deeper

You're the dancer in the dark
C
You're the beat in my heart
G
You're the evening sky
Am G
You're my mourning dove

And I drive around at night

Try to catch my breath

You're the tear in my eye

The pain in my chest

Ooh, it's all washing
It's all washing over me

Like a fool
F
But even so, ooh
