C#m                             A
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
                F#m
Sheets are in a knot
                           B
My heart is like a rock, hey
C#m                             A
Pictures flashing by inside my head
                   F#m
I'm hanging by a thread
                          B
But I'd do it all again, yeah

C#m                            A
I keep running away, running away,
running away from you
      F#m
But I can't stand breaking the chains
                                    B
Breaking the chains, breaking the chains

Chorus:
         C#m
It's too good
           A                  B
'Cause I know the second you go
Want you to bring it on back
F#m                 B                 C#m
Bring it on back, bring it on back to me
         A                     B
And you know I want your chokehold
Want you to bring it on back
F#m                 B                 C#
Bring it on back, bring it on back to me
E A B                C#
Bring it on back to me
E A B                C#m
Bring it on back to me

All without your touch, I suffocate
I could asphyxiate
But I kind of like the pain, hey
Babe, I can smell you on my clothes
I try to stay composed
But I feel the fever grow, grow oh oh

I keep running away, running away.
running away from you
But I can't stand breaking the chains,
breaking the chains, breaking the chains
It's too good

Chorus

C#m       A
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
B         F#m
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah-eah-eah
C#       A                  B
Me, me, me, me-e-e, e-e-e, e-e-e
                   F#m        B       C#
Gotta bring it on back baby, back to me!

Chorus

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, you gotta bring it right back
Bring it on back to me
Bring it on back to me
Oh, oh
