B F#/A# E That boy, take me away, into the night Out of the hum of the street lights and into a forest I'll do whatever you say to me in the dark Scared I'll be torn apart by a wolf in mask of a familiar name on a birthday card Chorus: G#m F# Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles B "You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence Wide-eyed, both in silence Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene Well I have brittle bones it seems I bite my tongue and I torch my dreams Have a little voice to speak with And a mind of thoughts and secrecy Things cannot be reversed, we learn from the times that we are cursed that Things cannot be reversed, learn from the ones we fear the worst And learn from the ones we hate the most How to Chorus: Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles "You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence Wide-eyed, both in silence Wide-eyed B G#m F# B 'Cause we both know I'll never be your lover I only bring the heat Company under covers Filling space in your sheets Well I'll never be a lover I only bring the heat Company under covers Filling space in your sheets, in your sheets So, please just Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles "You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night It's just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence Wide-eyed, both in silence Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  E  F#  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
