          F#      C#
When you need to smile
                G#    A#m
But you can't afford it
       F#      C#
Go on point it out
            G#    A#m
I'm gonna steal it
          F#              C#              G#         A#m
When the floor is more familiar than the ceiling
         F#               C#
I will break in late at night
                      G#    A#m
Shake up how you're feeling

Chorus:
            F# C#
I'll never stop
  G#                 A#m
Breaking the law for you
I'll never stop
Helping to pull you through
Whatever it takes to get what you need
Ignore the alarm
Ignore the police
I'll never stop
Breaking the law for you

When you're taking steps
But need to go faster
We can speed through streets
So the shadows can't catch ya
When the corridors and all
the stairs are making you tired
I will come for you
Set the building on fire

Chorus:
I'll never stop
Breaking the law for you
I'll never stop
Helping to pull you through
Whatever it takes to get what you need
Ignore the alarm
Ignore the police
I'll never stop
Breaking the law for you
