verse 1 

Ebm                      F# 
We kiss like shadows and talk in the night air. 
C#                           Abm 
   To thick for breath so it feels like we're drowning. 
Ebm                      F# 
   We gave it color we filled up our lungs with 
C#                           Ab               (Bb) 
filtered smoke we're exhausted from lying. 


Chorus 

B 
We start with small talk but 
F# 
we know that it's not so. 
Ebm 
We take our time cause it 
C# 
feels like we're lying. 

B 
We run in circles and 
F# 
we scrape our elbows so 
Ebm 
we know that we're not the 
C# 
only ones pretending. 

B 
Do you know what I like? 
Ebm 
Do you like the night life? 
C#

verse 2 

Ebm                      F# 
Not quite asleep and we're not quite awake. 
C#                           Abm 
Are we standing still or are we caught in an earthquake? 
Ebm                      F# 
    It's a feeling that I love to hate. 
C#                           Ab               (Bb) 
Only halfway to life so we're halfway to dying.

set our roots no we'll never move.

speak in tongues yeah, we scream it out.
