[Intro]
D   C

[Verse 1]
    D
I, I'm lost in my head again

Time travellin'
                   C
Runnin', runnin' away with
darkness, my only friend
                          D
Don't wanna do this all again

You pull me back down to earth

Close off your hands around,
               C
 hands around me
Grace landin' onto your bed
There you are

[Pre-Chorus]
        D
In my head, there's a beat

It's the beat that you make

When you're movin' your body
                           C
You prove that I can't escape,

I can't escape
         D
Got my heart in your hands

And your hands on my chest

And my chest is a breath
                                C
It's the breath that you take away

[Chorus]
and you said, "Shut off the lights,
                         D
 we don't need them to dance"
         C
Hey, oh oh
You said, "Just shut off the lights,
                         D
 we don't need th?m to dance"
    C
Oh, oh
You said, "Just shut off the lights,
 shut off the lights"

[Verse 2]
 D
Wh?n drunk, we're invincible
                              C
No bar went quietly into the night

This dream is our universe
                      D
You are my gravity tonight

No talk of the future now
Dark thoughts, you're shakin'
                  C
'em, takin' 'em out

This rhythm that we create
sets me straight

[Pre-Chorus]
       D
In my head, there's a beat

It's the beat that you make

Got my heart in your hands
And your hands on my chest
