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

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