[Intro]
D   Bm   G   G  2x

[Verse 1]
 D
Take a knife and cut through
 the darkness
 Bm
Castle temp red wine,
                 G
but I make no plans and
none can be broken
     G
No plans and none can be broken
   D
Remember us just like this
               Bm
forever but this can't last,
won't last
             G
So make no plans and
 none can be broken
     G
No plans and none can be broken

[Pre-Chorus]
        A           Bm
Do you laugh about me whenever
    G
 I leave?
         A     Bm            G
Or do I just need more therapy?
[Chorus]
               D
Love is in the air
I just gotta figure out
    Bm
 a window to break out
         G
Buriеd alive inside my dreams,
 but it was all a fakе out
             D
And I don't care, I just gotta
               Bm
figure out a window to break out
         G
Buried alive inside my dreams,
 but it was all a fake out,
        D     Bm     G
 fake out

[Verse 2]
    D
My mood board is just pictures
             Bm
of you, but I'm not sad anymore
             G
So make no plans and
none can be broken
     G
No plans and none can be broken
              D
But I didn't take the love when
                           Bm
 I had the chance, but I swear
I'm not sad anymore
             G
So make no plans and
none can be broken
     G
No plans and none can be broken
