Verse
E B
For stumbling through a mess of dances
C#m
For squandering my second chances
For wrecking every dream
A
And breaking everything I ever had
Oooh yeah
[Refrão]E
I'm reckless and senseless
I've jumped all the fences
B
Abandoned all the rules
And crashed like a fool
C#m
Out of control
So criminal
A
You could've let me drown
But you reached your hand out
E
And you met me in the fire
You fanned the flames up higher
B
Could've left me for dead
But you pulled me from the edge
C#m
For loving me the way you do
A
I know I'm reckless
E
But you must be reckless, too

For trusting me when I wasn't worth it
C#m
Forgiving me when I didn't deserve it
A
For looking in my eyes and seeing the soul inside and
Crying, crying, crying
[Refrão]E
I'm reckless and senseless
I've jumped all the fences
B
Abandoned all the rules
And crashed like a fool
C#m
Out of control
So criminal
A
You could've let me drown
But you reached your hand out

And you met me in the fire
You fanned the flames up higher

Could've left me for dead
But you pulled me from the edge

Drove away so fast and put me in the past 'cause baby
