[Verse 1]
How deeply are you sleeping or are you still awake?
A good friend told me you’ve been staying out so late
Be careful, oh, my darling, oh, be careful what it takes
From what I’ve seen so far, the good ones always seem to break
Em                           G                                         D                                         C
And I was screaming at my father and you were screaming at me
Em                           G                     D                     C
And I can feel your anger from way across the sea
Em                     G                     D                                         C
And I was kissing strangers, I was causing such a scene
Em                     G                     D                     C
Oh the heart it hides such unimaginable things

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em                                         D                                         C
Grab me by my ankles, I’ve been flying for too long
Em                     G                     D                                         C
I couldn’t hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
Em                     G                     D                                         C
And I want you so badly but you could be anyone
Em                     G                     D                                         C
I couldn’t hide from the thunder in a sky full of song

[Chorus 1]
G                     D                     C
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
G                        D                     C
Aim your arrow at the sky
G                     D                         C
Take me down, I’m too tired now
G                     D          C
Leave me where I lie

[Verse 2]
Em                     G                                         D                                         C
And I can tell that I’m in trouble when that music starts to play
Em                         G                     D                     C
In a city without seasons, it keeps raining in LA
Em                     G                     D                      C
I feel like I’m about to fall, the room begins to sway
Em                           G                     D                       C
And I can hear the sirens but I cannot walk away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm                     G                     D                                         C
Grab me by my ankles, I’ve been flying for too long
Em                          G                     D                          C
I couldn’t hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
Bm                       G                     D                         C
And I want you so badly but you could be anyone
Em                      G                     D                                         C
I couldn’t hide from the thunder in a sky full of song

[Chorus 2]

Hold me down, I’m so tired now
G                     D                     C
Aim your arrow at the sky
G                     D                              C
Take me down, I’m too tired now

Leave me where I lie

I thought I was flying but maybe I’m dying tonight
