[Intro]
Bb Bb C  Dm

[Verse 1]
Bbmaj7
Diamonds dripping
 down my throat
Csus4                  Dmadd11
Why's it gotta be so addictive?
        Bbmaj7
Now I'm chasing after antidotes
    Csus4
For anything that tastes
        Dmadd11
 like a quick fix
Bbmaj7
Days like this, no,
 nothing feels right
Csus4
Nothing sticks,
         Dmadd11
 I can't get out my mind
Bbmaj7
Tell myself to let it go
Csus4
Wish that I could
           Dmadd11
let it go

[Pre-Chorus]
     Bb      F       Dm   C
It's hard to keep it down now
              Bb
But I need to let the
 F     Dm    C
fever sweat out

[Chorus]
           Bb
Now I can't stand still,
            Dm
 should be running free
             F
And all these nightmares
         C
 used to be daydreams
           Bb         Dm
I've got my eyes wide open
           F           Am
Don't wanna care 'bout nothing
            Bb
Wish I could know less,
          Dm
 just go back to bed
             F
'Cause all my pink skies
           C
 have been painted red
          Bb           Dm
If this is real, don't show it
       F         Am
I wanna run blindfolded

[Verse 2]
  Bbmaj7
Reality's a bitter taste
    Csus4                Dmadd11
But fantasy can be so deceiving
       Bbmaj7
All my good intentions
 gone to waste
        Csus4
I'll do anything to
               Dmadd11
 shut out this feeling
  Bb
I can't go back, no,
 I've gone too far
  C                    Dm
I miss the way that my eyes
 filled with stars
Bb
Tell myself to
let it go but I don't
  C                           Am
I wish that I could let it go

[Chorus]
           Bb

 should be running free
             F
And all these nightmares
