[Intro]
G    C    D    C

[Verse 1]
G                                                   C
Talk is cheap and all you do is run that motor of a mouth
                                                      D
It's barely noon and I'd assume if we're leaving it'd be now
                    C
We'll never make it out

[Verse 2]
G                                                              C
Do you remember running backwards swearing that we could never fall?
                                                                 D
And opening up just like the cuts that live amongst your wildest thoughts
                              C
It seems you were right after all

[Pre-Chorus]
              G D/F#    Em D  C
And I've been saving up my doubts
             G D/F# Em  C
What are you going  on about

[Chorus]
C
You'll be screaming good faith and bad taste
                 G
As the cigarette hangs off your drunk face
                      Em
Lord knows we're both scared
                                          D
But the wind in your hair tells me we're okay
                     C
And we'll be jumping state lines in no time
                       G
Have you ever seen the night life on 95?
                      Em
Lord knows we're both scared
                                           D
But the wind in your hair tells me we've escaped
                      C    G    Em    D
No we ain't here to stay

[Verse 3]
G                                                                C
Freaking out if you're feeling lost then we can head back to the couch
                                                       D
Lay one down and let it out before you ever say it out loud
                     C
Will we ever make it out?

[Pre-Chorus]
              G D/F# Em D  C
And I've been saving up my doubts
             G D/F# Em  C
What are you going  on about

[Chorus]
C
You'll be screaming good faith and bad taste
                 G
As the cigarette hangs off your drunk face
                      Em
Lord knows we're both scared
                                          D
But the wind in your hair tells me we're okay
                     C
And we'll be jumping state lines in no time
                       G
Have you ever seen the night life on 95?
                      Em
Lord knows we're both scared
                                           D
But the wind in your hair tells me we've escaped
                      C
No we ain't here to stay

[Outro]
G    Em    D    C    G    Em    D
