V1 (G) No peace of (D) mind goes out (Em) spoken
The (C) words rattle off like a (G) pointed gun to their (D) heads
(G) A love that went (D) wrong pulled the (Em) trigger
And (C) hate takes the place of a (G) weathered heart
And it’s a (C) fight that (G) you can’t (D) win
CH (F) – (C) Lay me (G) down
(D) We’re two jaded lovers
With (Am) only each other
For (G) now
(F) – (C) Lay me (G) down
(D) Tied in the moment
While the (F) wind gentle (C) whispers
(F) Hide ‘till a (C) safe word is (G) found
V2 (G) The lock on the (D) room was (Em) stolen
The (C) covers were hiding her (G) face, still not her (D) shame
(G) A cry in the (D) night, when un (Em) noticed
(C) Will lead you to think when the (G) morning comes
It was (C) all just a (G) game in your (D) head
CHORUS
BR (Am) I took off running
And (C) I took off too
(G) Took our belongings
(D) But saved all the clues
(Am) Turning out backs on the (C) ones
Who damaged our (D) – (D7) truth
V1 No peace of mind is outspoken
Where the words rattle off like a pointed gun to their heads
A love that went wrong pulled the trigger
Hate takes the place of a weathered heart
And it’s a fight that you can’t win
CH Lay me down
We’re two jaded lovers
With only each other
For now
Lay me down
Tied in the moment
While the wind gentle whispers
Hide ‘till a safe word is found
V2 The lock on the room was stolen
The covers were hiding her face, still not her shame
A cry in the night, when unnoticed
Will lead you to think when the morning comes
It was all just a game in your head
CHORUS
BR I took off running
And I took off too
Left our belongings
But saved all the clues
Turning out backs on the ones
Who damaged our truth
