And we keep speeding, and we keep speeding
C G F
And we keep crashing, and we keep crashing
C G F
And we keep reaching, and we keep reaching
C G F
And we keep crying, 'til we start laughing
C G F
Long before my fall from grace
C G F
For a piece of me, they paid
C G F
From the throat, I'm tied to you
C G F
All of us, still cracked in two
[Verse 1]
Am C
And the ones in the back cry "wait for me"

And the ones we ignore cry "come to me" (come to me)
G Dm
Are the ones we adore cry "give me space, give me space"
Am C
And the ones who are cruel cry "beg for me" (beg for me)
G Dm
And the ones they possess, they love the chase, love the chase
