[Verse 1]
Bm7
Screeching out to you

Breathing loud for you

In and out of blue
Amaj7
Who’s gon’ take me home?
            A7
Who’s gon’ take me home?

Quick with gratitude
Bm7
Quick to have a clue

But I’m blind to you
                     Amaj7
If you take me home, where you gonna go?
          A7
I’ll stay back for you

I’ll run laps for you

[Hook]
 Bm7                       Amaj7      A7
It’s off, it’s lost, it’s lovely
 Bm7                    Amaj7      A7
Hold on, hold on, it’s lovely


[Verse 2]
       Bm7
Is it okay if I run away?

Is it okay if I don’t know what to say?
       Amaj7
Is it okay if I need to complain?
                A7
Can’t see you tomorrow, can I see you today?
                Bm7
Can I see you today?

I’ve been losing sleep, staying awake
                                  Amaj7  A7
I’m waiting, dreams that come and go

(Can I see you today? Can I see you today?)
    Bm7
The race for open space
                                            Amaj7   A7
Maybe this pen can paint a place that I don’t know

(Can I see you today? Can I see you? Can I see you?)
    Bm7
Oh we play games 'til the red of the morning

Things don't change and we take what’s important
 Amaj7
We don’t talk and we sit and it's boring
 A7
I just look at my phone trying to ignore that
 Bm7
I feel like a stranger in my own skin
    Amaj7                              A7
My room’s a mess, I’m afraid to let you in

[Bridge]
Bm7
 You’re all I know
       Amaj7            A7
It’s hard to go, it’s hard
            Bm7
My love, we made mistakes

We’d stay awake
       Amaj7      A7
What life I lead


[Hook]
 Bm                        Amaj7
It’s off, it’s lost, it’s lovely
 Bm                     Amaj7
Hold on, hold on, it’s lovely
