[Verse 1]
[fig 1] Em D
Why can't you just forget about algebra
F# / F#7 / F#
it's all about you now
[fig 2] Em D
And all your talk of logic and formula
F#
could never help you now
F# F#sus2 F# F#7 F#
(not any more)
[Chorus]
Bm
'Cause you were always
E7
on the run
A F#m
from the darkness in your heart
Bm
so you wear it
C#m F#
on the outside of your chest
[Verse 2]
[fig 2] Em D
I have taken liberty
F# / F#7 / F#
to tell your ghost to go
[fig 2] Em D
bribing them with sunlight and sympathy
F#
they've promised not to show
F# F#sus2 F# F#7 F#
(for a while)
[Chorus]
Bm
'Cause you were always
E7
the little boy
A F#m
who couldn't keep it to yourself
Bm
so your heart
C#m F#
is on the outside of your chest
[Solo] just try to play along with Nina

At the speed of light
F#
you moved inside my home
Em D
nothing is alright
F#
if you're still alone
[Outro]
Bm
And your heart
E7
is greater than
A F#m
the sum of you and everyone
Bm E7
but still you're always on the run
A F#m
from the poison in your lungs
Bm C#m
and your heart is on the outside
F#
of your chest.
