Look at us baby up all night tearing our love apart

Aren't we the same two people who lived through years in the dark?
Bm                  A       Gmaj7                    F#7sus4  F#7
Every time I try to walk away something makes me turn around and stay
Bm                   A     B A
And I can't tell you why.

Dmaj7                                 Gmaj7
When we get crazy it just ain't right girl I get lonely too
Dmaj7                                      Gmaj7  F#7sus4  F#7 
You don't have to worry just hold on tight  'cause I love you.
Bm                        A       Gmaj7                     F#7sus4 F#7
