[Intro]
 Bm      Em
   G      A

[Verse 1]
             Bm
These days I wear my body
                    Em
like an uninvited guest
           G
I turn it right, and right, and
                            A
right, instead of turning left
               Bm
But boy, your patience is a
                    Em
 magic kind of medicine
              Em
'Cause every spiral brings me
                       A
back into your arms again

[Chorus]
         Bm
So no regrets, 'cause
          Em
you're my sunset
       G            A
Fiery red, forever fearless
            Bm             Em
And in your arms a warm horizon
            G                A
Don't look back, let's ride away,
             Bm  Em   G A
 let's ride away (Hey!)
[Verse 2]
         Bm
So many stories we were told
                Em
about a safety net (Hey!)
            G
But when I look for it, it's just
                         A
a hand that's holding mine
             Bm
I'm wearing black to mourn
                        Em
the sudden loss of innocence
              G
And that's alright because it hides
                         A
 the dirt and hides the wine

[Chorus]
         Bm                     Em
So no regrets, 'cause you're my sunset
       G            A
Fiery red, forever fearless
            Bm             Em
And in your arms a warm horizon
            G                A
Don't look back, let's ride away,
              Bm
let's ride away
