Chorus:
D# F Gm
Just close your eyes
A# F
We're gonna run this light
D# F Gm
We live our lives
A# F
Yeah, we're not wasting time
D# F Gm
Baby, we lost our minds
A#
We're gonna get, gonna get
F
Get what we can
D# F Gm
We're not doing it for the money,
doing it for the money
A# F
Doing it for the money, doing it for the money
Cm
Is it wrong to write the rules?
We gotta strike a match and light the fuse
And now I'm never looking back
It's time to leave the future in the past
D#
I said it doesn't matter where I go
Gm Cm
I am calling all the poets in the battle
A# D#
I am shouting to the world
Gm
Let them know that we won't
Be afraid to step into
the fight when you can't see the light
Chorus:
So close your eyes, we're gonna run this blind
We live our lives, yeah, we're not wasting time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can
But we're not doing it for the money, doing it for the money
Doing it for the money, doing it for the money
Well, if you're down, then soldier up
You better learn to shoot or learn to duck
There's no retreat and no escape
If we keep dreaming while we're wide awake
I said it doesn't matter where I go, I am
Calling all the prophets into battle, I am
Never gonna change who I am, I won't
Bend under the pressure when my back's on the ropes
I said, it doesn't matter where I go, I am
Staring down the barrel of a gun, we are
Shouting to the world, let them know that we are
Not afraid to step into the fight
when you can't see the light
Chorus:
So close your eyes, we're gonna run this blind
We live our lives, yeah, we're not wasting time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can
But we're not doing it for the money,
doing it for the money
Doing it for the money, doing it for the money
G# Cm Gm
Well it's a silicone rush and I'm addicted
G#
I don't understand it
D# Fm G#
The winner starts kill switch
Cm
Saying what I want to
Gm
The pleasure comes with pain too
G#
Mostly it's another fight
D# Fm G# D# Fm
When it's slowly coming after you
Chorus:
So close your eyes, we're gonna run this blind
We live our lives, yeah, we're not wasting time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can
But we're not doing it for the money,
doing it for the money
Doing it for the money, doing it for the money
