C
Yes, I was drunk
Am
You'd be the same
G
The windows were bending
F
and decorated with rain
C
I couldn't speak
Am
'cos my thinking was stunned
G
I picked up the keys
F
you forced me to run
C
Nothing could stop me leaving
Am
The impulse runs through my blood
G
And I hope you live for your freedom
F
I hope you enjoy the lust
C
And I got in the car
Am
And put her in to first
C
Not stopping for lights
Am
'cos my vision was blurred
G
One hand on the wheel
F
the other open and cut
C
You know I still have to tow
Am
You know I wanted to stay
G
The car in front
F
Kept tapping on-off the breaks
C
Nothing could stop me leaving
Am
The impulse runs through my blood
G
I hope you live for your freedom
F
I hope you enjoy the lust
C
So I let go
Am
So I let go
G
Ignoring the lights
F
That mark out the road
C
And I wanted to meet the one
Am
The one with the healthy glow
G
So I let go
F
You made me let go

I think I just needed a rush, needed a rush

Nothing could stop me speeding
Am
Or missing that bend in the road
G
A 90 head-on collision
F
Is how I lost control
C
So I let go
Am
So I let go
G
Ignoring the lights
F
That mark out the road
C
Wanted to meet the one
Am
The one with the healthy glow

So I let go
F
You made me let go
