[Verse 1]
Am         G
I felt so alive but now I'm
       F             G
like a number no-one dials
          Am              G
Everybody knows, everybody
            F        G
goes another way
Am            G
Like a vacant sign flickering
   F           G
on empty every night
                Am
Everything I've done everything
  G      F        G
I own on display.

[Pre-Chorus]
       Dm
Theres something in my blood
                        C
it flows through all my veins
     C/B       Am
That nothing's good enough
                      G
til the hour it goes away
            Dm
and now the gloves are off
                      C
we both will grab our knives
        C/B    Am
Aren't you the darkest horse
            G
my alien in white

[Chorus]
                  Am         G
We'll only beat it together,
      F    G
togeth-er
                  Am         G
We'll only beat it together,
      F    G
togeth-er

     Am              G
Your body warms that scent and
            F           G

Every living hour of every

[Bridge]
Dm
You're out of my league.
You're out of my mind
C
You're out of my sight.
You're out of my life
    Am
But we're in this hole
                   G
we're in this mess forever
   Dm
So if you're in doubt
if you want out
    C
be sure you're not lost
cause you'll be found out
Am
Forget all the rest cause
                G
we will go down together
