Capo 3
 
C Em C Em
I could spend my whole life figuring out what you're running from,
C Em C Em
I know it's weird I think I admire your self-destruction,
 
G
But I'm entranced,
Am
I should forget but I can't sugarcoat this pain,
 
C
We're running wild, making plans,
Em
In the taxi holding hands,
C
We can never get back,
Em
We can never get that back,
C
All our secrets have merged,
Em
It's a whole other world,
C
We can never get back,
Em
We can never get that back,
 
No.
 
C Em C Em
I don't think I was looking for anyone I could understand,
C Em C Em
How could I know if it was bad till I felt poison in my hand?
 
G
Guess I got too close,
 
It's what you feared the most,
Am
You try and sugarcoat the pain,
 
C
We're running wild, making plans,
Em
In the taxi holding hands,
C
We can never get back,
Em
We can never get that back,
C
All our secrets have merged,
Em
It's a whole other world,
C
We can never get back,
Em
We can never get that back,
 
No.
 
G
I loved your words,
 
But then I learned,
Am
Sometimes they don't mean what they say,
G
And it took you walking away,
 
Just to learn that I'm not afraid to
Am
get my heart broken.
 
C
Running wild, making plans,
Em
In the taxi holding hands,
C
We can never get back,
Em
We can never get that back,
C
All our secrets have merged,
Em
It's a whole other world,
C
We can never get back,
Em
We can never get that back,
 
No.
