D   C   

[Verse 1]
    D             
I, I\'m lost in my head again

Time travellin\'
                   C 
Runnin\', runnin\' away with 
darkness, my only friend
                          D 
Don\'t wanna do this all again

You pull me back down to earth
                            
Close off your hands around,
               C 
 hands around me
Grace landin\' onto your bed
There you are

[Pre-Chorus]
        D 
In my head, there\'s a beat

It\'s the beat that you make

You prove that I can\'t escape,

Wh?n drunk, we\'re invincible

                      D 
You are my gravity tonight
 
No talk of the future now
Dark thoughts, you\'re shakin\'

You prove that I can\'t escape,
 I can\'t escape

And your hands on my chest
And my chest is a breath
                               C 
It\'s the breath that you take away
