Am             C
It seems like we
                  Dm
Like to be living dangerously
     F              G         Am
Our hearts sings a temporary lie
               C
It seems like her
                 Dm
Madness could be endlessly
     F         G         Am
Her love is a temporary high

                            C
And you're running to the shore
               F
Howling at the waves
                G
Howling back at you, you-ou-ou

Chorus:
Am
When you're ahead, she's coming after
C
And when you run, she's running faster
F
And when she loves you better hope her
G                       Am
Love is not a temporary high

Your body was warm
When she was cold
You would long for love
Her storm was a temporary light
And I guess you froze
When the storm blew away her clothes
And you never got warm again

Your hands as blue as ice
You reached towards the sky
Reaching back at you (You, you, you)

Chorus:
Am
When you're ahead, she's coming after
C
And when you run, she's running faster
F
And when she loves you better hope her
G                       Am
Love is not a temporary high
Am
(You-ou-ou)
C
And when you run, she's running faster
F
And when she loves you better hope her
G                       Am
Love is not a temporary high

                      C
Your hands as blue as ice
                      F
You reach towards the sky
                 G
Reaching back at you, you-ou-ou

Chorus

Am          C             F           G
You better hope that her love is not temporary
Am          C             F           G
You better hope that her love is not temporary
