[Verse 1]
[fig 1] Bm A
Why can't you just forget about algebra
C# / C#7 / C#
it's all about you now
[fig 2] Bm A
And all your talk of logic and formula
C#
could never help you now
C# C#sus2 C# C#7 C#
(not any more)
[Chorus]
F#m
'Cause you were always
B7
on the run
E C#m
from the darkness in your heart
F#m
so you wear it
G#m C#
on the outside of your chest
[Verse 2]
[fig 2] Bm A
I have taken liberty
C# / C#7 / C#
to tell your ghost to go
[fig 2] Bm A
bribing them with sunlight and sympathy
C#
they've promised not to show
C# C#sus2 C# C#7 C#
(for a while)
[Chorus]
F#m
'Cause you were always
B7
the little boy
E C#m
who couldn't keep it to yourself
F#m
so your heart
G#m C#
is on the outside of your chest
[Solo] just try to play along with Nina

At the speed of light
C#
you moved inside my home
Bm A
nothing is alright
C#
if you're still alone
[Outro]
F#m
And your heart
B7
is greater than
E C#m
the sum of you and everyone
F#m B7
but still you're always on the run
E C#m
from the poison in your lungs
F#m G#m
and your heart is on the outside
C#
of your chest.
