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

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