[Intro]
   Bm D         G
It all starts today
                  Bm  D     G
I'm letting go of all my mistakes

[Verse 1]
Bm      D
 Tell me it's a simulation
G
 I'll go wherever you go
Bm     D
 Tryna find stimulation
G
 Be the light in the
 dark that grows

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm            D
 And it comes without warning
G
 A rush of blood that
 you can't control
Bm         D
 Tryna find vindication
G
 Be the light in the
 dark that grows
