[Intro]
C       Am      C        Am

[Verse 1]
    C
I'm running through the dark,
scared of every single spark
       Am
for so long,
            C
feel like I was never me and my
                              Am
body couldn't breathe for too long.
        C
Getting ready for our breakdown,
                         Am
we've lost some precious time,
                  C
but as soon as we hit the town,
                       Am
no gravity can hold us down.

[Pre-Chorus]
              F
It's what you do,
                Am
hoe hoe hoe hoe hoe,
              G        G
it’s what you do.

[Chorus]
                F
Awakened by the sun when our
               Am
hearts collide,
               G
running to the fire,
                G
lighting up the sky,
                  F
'cause even if we lose, well,
                Am       G        G
we have tonight, it was worth it.
                F
We can take the fall cause
                   Am
we felt the heights,
                     G
breaking through the walls cause
                     G
we've seen the other side,
               F
and even if we lose, well,
                Am       G        G
we have tonight, it was worth it,

[Interlude] (Re-Intro)

[Verse 2]
                           C
Flowers bursting out their buds, so,
the water turns to floods,
         Am
let's go on.
                         C
Saved by the heat of the heart as
melted ice fell through the dawn,
         Am
it's all done
        C
Getting ready for our breakdown,
                         Am
we've lost some precious time,
                  C
but as soon as we hit the town,
                       Am
no gravity can hold us down.

[Pre-Chorus]
              F
It's what you do,
                Am
hoe hoe hoe hoe hoe,
              G        G
it’s what you do.

[Chorus]
                F
Awakened by the sun when our
               Am

running to the fire,
                G
