Am7 Drowning in the Blue Nile
Fmaj7 He sent me "Downtown Lights"
Am FMidnight you come and pick me up, no headlights
Am FLong drive, could end in burnin' flames, or paradise
AmFade in to view, oh
Am7 I hadn't heard it in a while
My boredom was bone deep
Fmaj7 This cage was once just fine
allowed to cry?
Am7 I dream of cracking locks
Fmaj7 Throwing my life to the wolves
Am7 Or the ocean rocks crashing into him tonight
He's a paradox, I'm seeing visions,
Fmaj7 bad or mad or wise?
[Chorus]
CYou got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
FAnd I got that red lip classic thing that you like
CAnd when we Go crashing down we come back every time
FCause we never Go out of style, we never Go out of style
[Verse]
Fmaj7 I keep those longings locked
Am7 In lowercase inside a vault
Fmaj7 Someone told me there's no such things as bad thoughts
Only your actions talk
Am7 These fatal fantasies
Fmaj7 Giving way to labored breath, taking all of me
Am7 We've already done it in my head
If it's make believe
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm* Em* I should just tell you to leave cause I
F*Know exactly where It leads but I
FWatch us Go round and round each time
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh
Fmaj7 Only in my mind?
Cmaj7 One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
G Fmaj7 Oh, what a way to die
CYou got the long hair slicked back, white t-shirt
FAnd I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
AmAnd when we Go crashing down we come back every time
Fmaj7 G My bedsheets are ablaze, I've screamed his name
Cmaj7 Building up like waves crashing over my grave
Fmaj7 Without ever touching his skin
N.C. Cmaj7
How can I be guilty as sin
[Bridge]
G Fmaj7 What if I roll the stone away?
Cmaj7 They're gonna crucify me anyway
G What if the way you hold me
Fmaj7 N.C.
Is actually what's holy?
Fmaj7 G If long-suffering propiety is what they want from me
Cmaj7 Am7 They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly
Fmaj7 G N.C. I choose you and me, religiously
[Chorus]
N.C.
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh
Fmaj7 Only in my mind?
Cmaj7 One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
G Fmaj7 Oh, what a way to die
G I keep recalling things we never did
Cmaj7 Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our trysts
Fmaj7 Without ever touching his skin
G N.C. Cmaj7 How can I be guilty as sin
[Outro]
G Fmaj7 He sent me Downtown Lights
Cmaj7 G Fmaj7 I hadn't heard it in a while
G allowed to cry?
