here is the no capo version
intro- G#
G#
when i was young i wanted a coffin
coz i was told that it was tradition
D# Cm
making my mark in the earth
C# G#
duty was told to come first
G#
but now i know to live and be nervous
if you're not scared you're not liven with purpose
D# Cm
so now they can burn me away
C# G#
i'll make my mark other ways
D#
so take a chance
C# G#
and run with me tonight
D#
and we can dance
C# G#
until we're terrified
D#
coz when it's dark
C# G#
that's when we'll come alive
C# D# G# D#
let yourself be scared like me
C# D# G#
let yourself be scared like me
G#
i always thought if i had superpowers
and if i could chose how to live out my hours
D# Cm
i'd choose immortality
C# G#
i'd be here permanently
G#
but if life's long it won't guarantee meaning
i might just spend twice as long a life sleeping
D# Cm
so now i think i'd choose to fly
C# G#
it's hard to sleep in the sky
D#
so take a chance
C# G#
and run with me tonight
D#
and we can dance
C# G#
until we're terrified
D#
coz when it's dark
C# G#
that's when we'll come alive
C# D# G# D#
let yourself be scared like me
C# D#
let yourself be scared like me
C#7 Cm
i don't expect your heart
Fm D#
i only want your honesty
C#7 Cm
if i pushed you too far
Fm D#
just tell me like you promised me
D#
so take a chance
NC G#
and run with me tonight
D#
and we can dance
C# G#
until we're terrified
D#
coz when it's dark
C# G#
that's when we'll come alive
C# D# G# D#
let yourself be scared like me
C# C#m (once)
let yourself be scared like me
