F Fsus2 F F7 F
(not any more)

'Cause you were always

on the run

so you wear it
Cm F
on the outside of your chest
[Verse 2]
[fig 2] D#m C#
I have taken liberty
F / F7 / F
to tell your ghost to go
[fig 2] D#m C#
bribing them with sunlight and sympathy

they've promised not to show
F Fsus2 F F7 F
(for a while)
[Chorus]
A#m
'Cause you were always

A#m Cm
and your heart is on the outside
