D                           A/C#
I can't look at you in the same light
                                         Bm
Knowing what you did in my heart doesn't feel right
                              G
Yeah, my head's been tripping all night
                            D
I need another point of view

I got a friend who's committed to sci-fi
He's read every comic, he's addicted to Twilight
He'll give you the goosebumps
But he's never led me wrong

    D
He said, she's got a method of killing
A/C#
Pulling you in like you're gonna start kissing
Bm
Fooling around until you've lost all feeling
 G                             Gm
Sucking your blood until your heart stops beating

Chorus:
D                         Bm
Before we started, it was over
                           G
I feel our bodies getting colder
                 Em
She gives me, a feeling that I can't fight
D                                Bm
And it's the road that leads to nowhere
                         G
But all I want to do is go there
               Em               Gm
She's got me, running from the daylight
 D
Daylight

I got a taste for it and I'm obsessed
Lying here, no fear of the darkness
Now I'm not happy unless
I'm close enough to you

And all these dreams I'm dreaming
Freaking me out, I wish I knew the meaning
Doesn't make sense because I'm just not seeing
How I'm alive, it feels like I'm not breathing

Chorus

Bm       G               D
I'm not ready to start again
                               Bm
And you're not willing to make amends
         G               D
Now the daylight's dangerous
                        Bm
It will turn us both to dust
         G              D
I'm not ready to start again
                A                Bm
And you're not willing to make amends
         G               D
Now the daylight's dangerous
           A                D
And it is much too late for us

Chorus:
Before we started, it was over
I feel our bodies getting colder
She gives me a feeling that I can't fight
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And it's the road that leads to nowhere
But all I wanna do is go there
She's got me running from the daylight, daylight
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
I feel our bodies getting colder
She gives me a feeling that I can't fight
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And it's the road that leads to nowhere
But all I wanna do is go there
She's got me running from the daylight, daylight
