verse 1
 
C
You're not listening
C Am F
And all my words are lost but found
C
We both want something new
C Am F
I'll take the sky you keep the ground
F
We can bend and we can break
C
We can learn to give and take
Am G
Do you have the friends to start a war
F
What bridges should I burn
C
Give me a chance to live and learn
Am G G
There's still so much left to explore
 
[Refrão]C
We were moving so fast for so long
C
Never taking any hits from no one
Am F
And you've got running on the brain
C
Still running from the place where the sun dies
C
Take a track to the city where our hearts lie
Am F
Though our journey's still the same
C
We're just strangers on a train
 
verse 2
 
C
Close your restless eyes
C Am F
I've seen them wander far too much
C
It's hard to sympathize
C Am F
when it's not me who's losing touch
F
Is there a joke you need to make?
C
Is there a smile you need to fake?
Am G
You cut so deep, you hit the bone
F
Is there a flame you need to light?
C
Is there a neck you need to bite?
Am G G
what does it take to guide you home?
