Intro: G D Am C (2x)
G D
I, I'm different
Am
I'm driving on the right side
C
And stopping at the stop signs
G
And there's you
D
Beside me baby
Am
Whispering those words
C
The ones I don't deserve
Em D
It's not easy for me
C
To belong here
G
I wanna be reckless
D
I wanna destroy this
Em
Don't wanna regret this
C
Like I've done before
G
I wanna be out there
D
In the middle of nowhere
Em C
Lost forever like I was before
G
Like I was before you came
G D
I, I'm learning
Am
To go against my nature
C G
It feels like I'm a stranger to myself
D
And it's frightening baby
Am
I don't know where I'm heading
C
But wake me when I get there
Em D
It's not easy for me
C
To belong here, to belong here
G
I wanna be reckless
D
I wanna destroy this
Em
Don't wanna regret this
C
Like I've done before
G
I wanna be out there
D
In the middle of nowhere
Em C
Lost forever like I was before
Em
Like I was before you came
Em D C
Don't feel like punishing myself
Bm
I've done my time
Em D C
And I made a promise to myself
Bm D G
So I might as well be reckless
D Em
I promise you won't regret this
C
Like you've done before
G
I wanna be reckless
D
I wanna destroy this
Em
Don't wanna regret this
C
Like I've done before
G
I wanna be out there
D
In the middle of nowhere

Lost forever like I was before

Like I was before you came
