             A#
Say what you want to
                       Dm
Never cared much for talking
A#                  Dm
(Blah, blah, blah, blah)
                    A#
Watching the walls move
                           Dm
And all our secrets coming out
                    A#                      Dm
What's left between us? (Blah, blah, blah, blah)

                            A#
You have the right to walk away
                        Dm
It's all right in your hands
                                      A#
But there's a dreamer that wants to believe
                  C
That we're good enough
Dm
Oh, oh, oh
A#              C
Ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Dm     A# C
Oh, oh, oh
  A#
Enough

Chorus:
       C                     Dm
If we lie here, we made our bed
        F                   A#
Stay forever in the lion's den
            C                  Dm             F
But if we choose it, we could see the light again
If we die here, what'll they say?
Another young love gone to waste
We're in ruins
But oh, oh, babe
                   A#
I know that we can make it out
I know we're gonna make it out
Say we're gonna make it out
Are we gonna make it out?

All of the rest go
Sitting back and losing
Cracks in the ceiling (Blah, blah, blah, blah)

And if you want to
I'll fall right in your hands
There's a dreamer that wants to believe
That we're still enough
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Enough

Chorus

Out, out (Blah, blah, blah, blah),

  A# F/A Gm
out, out (Blah, blah, blah, blah)
Out, out (Blah, blah, blah, blah),
out, out (Blah, blah, blah, blah)
Mhm (Blah, blah, blah, blah)

A#     F/A         Gm
You and I, you and I
Were golden once

You and I, you and I
Were golden once

You and I, you and I
Were golden once

You and I, you and I
