[Verse 1]
           Ab             
I'm sun-dried, my lips are 
              Ab7
high on overdrive
          Dbmaj7
I'm so tired
                         Dbm6/9
I'm sorry if I'm low on confidence,
 I left at midnight
       Ab                    Ab7
I'm sorry, but my brain is fried 
I haven't seen your face in
   Dbmaj7
 miles and miles
                          Dbm6/9
Always on a different continent, 
                 Fm
don't forget me now
    Bb             Db       Dbm6
Or ever, 'cause I know, I know

[Chorus]
 Ab
As long as you care
             Ebm7/Ab      
You have no idea, it's all 
                     Db
bright lights and red eyes
                   Dbm    

Bright lights and red eyes,
              Ab
 I'm never there
                Ebm7/Ab
But as long as you're here
                           Db
I'm all bright lights and red eyes
                   Dbm
Bright lights and red eyes

[Verse 2]
 Ab                           
Sometimes, got me working like
            Ab7
 a broke machine
      Db
Bad advice, it's why I keep 
on coming home again
    Dbm
My fingers still bleed
 Ab                   Ab7
Maybe this is what I need,
'cause I've been movin' 
         Db
on for miles and miles  
Runnin' off instead of 
                Dbm
facing you, but if I do
 Fm          Bb
You won't be home
            Db      
When I get there and 
                     C
I'm runnin' out of air

The progression the song keeps returning to is Ab – Ebm7/Ab – Db – Dbm (V – ii7 – I – i in D♭ major). In solfa, that is soh – reh – doh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
