 D
Take a knife and cut through the darkness
 Bm                                   G
Castle temp red wine, but I make no plans
and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken
   D                                     Bm
Remember us just like this forever but this
can't last, won't last
             G
So make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken

        A           Bm            G
Do you laugh about me whenever I leave?
          A     Bm            G
Or do I still need more therapy?

Chorus:
               D
Love is in the air
                           Bm
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
         G
Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all
a fake out
             D                               Bm
And I don't care, I just gotta figure out a window
to break out
         G
Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all
                  D Bm G
a fake out, fake out

My mood board is just pictures of you
But I'm not sad anymore
So make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken
But I didn't take the love when I had the chance
But I swear I'm not sad anymore
So make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken

Do you laugh about me whenever I leave?
Or do I still need more therapy?

Chorus:
Love is in the air,
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams,
but it was all a fake-out
And I don't care,
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams,
but it was all a fake-out, fake-out

       A           Bm            G
Oh, we all started out as shiny dimes
       A         Bm              G
But we all got flipped too many times
           A     Bm               G
We did it for futures that never came
         A                Bm           G
And for pasts that we're never gonna change

Chorus:
Love is in the air,
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams,
but it was all a fake-out
And I don't care,
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams,
but it was all a fake-out, fake-out
