[Verse 1]
[fig 1] G#m F#
Why can't you just forget about algebra
A# / A#7 / A#
it's all about you now
[fig 2] G#m F#
And all your talk of logic and formula
A#
could never help you now
A# A#sus2 A# A#7 A#
(not any more)
[Chorus]
D#m
'Cause you were always
G#7
on the run
C# A#m
from the darkness in your heart
D#m
so you wear it
Fm A#
on the outside of your chest
[Verse 2]
[fig 2] G#m F#
I have taken liberty
A# / A#7 / A#
to tell your ghost to go
[fig 2] G#m F#
bribing them with sunlight and sympathy
A#
they've promised not to show
A# A#sus2 A# A#7 A#
(for a while)
[Chorus]
D#m
'Cause you were always
G#7
the little boy
C# A#m
who couldn't keep it to yourself
D#m
so your heart
Fm A#
is on the outside of your chest
[Solo] just try to play along with Nina

G#m F#
At the speed of light
A#
you moved inside my home
G#m F#
nothing is alright
A#
if you're still alone
[Outro]
D#m
And your heart
G#7
is greater than
C# A#m
the sum of you and everyone
D#m G#7
but still you're always on the run
C# A#m
from the poison in your lungs
D#m Fm
and your heart is on the outside
A#
of your chest.
