[Verse]
Fmaj7
      If you take the wheel,
                     C
      I'll take the map
Fmaj7
      Through green rolling hills,
                           C
      we'll blaze our own path
   Fmaj7
Don’t worry about A to B,
                           C
‘cause all I wanna see is you
   Fmaj7
 We'll find a fortress by the beach,
                                   C
 and make believe a world just for two

[Pre-Chorus]
      Fmaj7
We'll fall asleep, a mess of limbs,
     Dm
with no beginning and no end
     C                             G
Your heartbeat is my favorite lullaby
      Fmaj7                       Dm
Find sanctuary in your arms, you swear
you’ll keep me safe from harm
    C
And I believe you, even though
     G
I'm scared, wasn’t prepared

[Chorus]
         Fmaj7
For the hurricane of you,
     C          G         Fmaj7 C G
the way I fall into your eyes
         Fmaj7
There's nothing I can do,
          C           G   Fmaj7
you were fated to be my demise
             Em
But I don’t mind

[BREAK]
Fmaj7        C        Em [x2]

Fmaj7
      Explore a distillery aging
                 C
      whiskey in caskets
Fmaj7
      Pull you closer to me,
                       C
      asking shyly for one more kiss
Em                       Fmaj7
On-a-rock-y cliff by the seaside
    Em
 We'll howl into the wind,
       G
 just you and I

[Chorus]
            Fmaj7
Lost in the hurricane of you,
    C            G         Fmaj7 C G
the way I fall into your eyes
         Fmaj7
There's nothing I can do,
          C           G   Fmaj7
you were fated to be my demise
             Em
But I don’t mind

[BREAK]
Fmaj7        C        Em      [x4]

[Bridge]
    Dm                           F
And even if the world wants us apart
           Dm
I’ll keep following the
               G
rhythm of your heart

We'll fall asleep, a mess of limbs,
     Dm
with no beginning and no end
C                                G
Every breath I take is yours to share

I swear I’ll keep you safe from harm
     C
And maybe someday I’ll stop
       G
being scared of the scars I bear

the way I fall into your eyes
         Fmaj7
There's nothing I can do,
          C           G   Fmaj7
you were fated to be my demise
             C
But I don’t mind
