D#               F                      Gm
I can feel your eyes in the back of my head
          A#               D#
Burning, burning, burning
                      F                      Gm
Floating through the room as the hairs on my arms are
         A#           D#
Rising, rising, rising
                 F             Gm
I'm chemically drawn closer to you
            A#           D#
Eyes wide, eyes wide open
                F                  Gm
Will you be my future or just an escape?
          A#
Love me, love me, love me

D#                   F                      Gm
You'll never get to heaven on a night like this

Chorus:
            A#
Those nights
           Gm
When your friends are gone
            D#                    Cm         Gm
When you're holding on for someone to leave with
  F       A#
Those nights
           Gm
When you crave someone
       D#                        Cm                 Gm   F
To be there at dawn, to wake with, 'cause aren't we all just
D#                          A#
Looking for a little bit of hope these days
 F                            Gm
Looking for somebody you can wake up with
D#                          A#
Looking for a little bit of hope these days
 F       Gm
We are, we are

Pulling at my t-shirt, your hands everywhere
Rising, rising, rising
As you trip and fall, dragging me up the stairs
What's your, what's your name, now?

You try to get to Heaven on a night like this
But you, you never get to Heaven on a night like this

Chorus

D#               F
The lights, the lights, the lights
     Gm                        D#
They cut a path across the room
                 F
The lights, the lights, the lights
   Gm
A blinding look from me to you
    D#            F                     Gm
And I'll be your rabbit in the headlights
            A#
We'll never get to heaven
D#            F                      Gm
I'll be your rabbit in the headlights
            A#
We'll never get to heaven

Chorus

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
From my brain
