D
Tail lights and runways
We put on a brave face
     C                   G                 D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D
We write down the details to make us feel safe

Cold on the mattress
Sad and alone
I think it's ten thousand minutes till I get home

Bm            Bm/A#
Someday we're gonna get to do
Bm/A    Bm/G#          Gm
All the things that we wanted to

Chorus:
D                   F#m
Never wanna say goodbye
    G                         D
You always see through my disguise
 G                            D     A
You're the one who breaks my heart right
     D                       F#m
You tear me up and wreck my dreams
   G                        Bm
I hold your hand when I'm asleep
              G                    D/F#
I don't mind falling for a lifetime
        E7           A     D  Dsus4 D Dsus4  D
'Cause you break my heart right

Be tender and honest
And sometimes say words that hurt
I'll hold all your troubles, even if you won't

And someday we're gonna get to do
All the things that we wanted to, yeah

Chorus:
Never gonna say goodbye
You always see through my disguise
You're the one who makes my heart right
You tear me up and wreck my dreams
I hold your hand when I'm asleep
I don't mind falling for a lifetime
'Cause you break my heart right

                 Bm
Don't say you're sorry
     A      D
Stay in my head
      Em
Don't protect me
 D       G          G#     A
Show me real love, not pretend

Chorus:
Never wanna say goodbye
You always see through my disguise
You're the one who breaks my heart right
You tear me up and wreck my dreams
I hold your hand when I'm asleep
I don't mind falling for a lifetime
'Cause you break my heart right

I don't mind falling for a lifetime
'Cause you break my heart right
