Intro:  Em C G (2x) 

verse 1:
 
Em                   C    G  
Don't you want me to stay? 
Em                   C      G 
Make a rocking horse getaway. 
D                             C      G  
The radio says we're in for a fall.  
D                   C  
The TV says nothing at all.  
        Em      C   
Nothing at all.  
        Em      C  G  
Nothing at all.  
Em                             C    G 
Out of my window, it echoes my heart. 
Em                                      C     G  
I've been checking for change since the start.  
D                                  C     G 
Collide into me, I could do with a fight.  
D                               C 
Collide into me, cause it feels right.  

PreChorus:
Em  D  G  C 
Ooooh-ooooh  
Em  D  G  Am 
Ooooh-ooooh 


C            G       D    Em 
Does the honesty deceive?  
C             G      D           Em 
Try to find a way to leave this party. 
C              G  
Take it out on me cause 
D            Em 
All the honesty  
A                 C 
Shut this place down.
