                    F C
You get me high, love
           Dm      A#             F                 C
No matter where I go, you're the first thing on my mind
               Dm  A#
We started to fade
    F                     C              Dm  A#
I know I was supposed to call, I wasn't alone
            F                      C
And it was late in different time zones
Dm         A#
You've got eleven, I was on your side
F                  C
I was only waking up
   Dm           A#
I just need to see you, need to feel that rush
  F                   C
Again and again and again

        Dm        A#      F
Come on over and mend my heart

Chorus:
                    Dm  A#
I didn't want to be here
                     F            C
I didn't want to be here without you
            Dm A#
Want to be here
                    F                    C
But everyone of us, every one of us got wanderlust

            Dm   A#
You get me high love
F                        C
I don't wanna feel this mess
                  Dm     A#
You're still the best I loved
    F                 C
And I'm still on the outside

Standing on a corner in the rainy, hot night
Wonderin' if you were at home
My pockets full of someone else's cigarettes
And I don't even smoke (I don't even smoke)

Come on over and mend my heart
Come on over and mend my heart

Chorus

A#      F
I just wanna be in
 C                Dm         C
Be in the light, light that surrounds you
A#      F
I just wanna be in
 C                Dm         C
Be in the light, be in that light
A#     F
I just wanna be in
 C                Dm         C
Be in the light, light that surrounds you
A#     F
I just wanna be in
 C                Dm         C
Be in the light, be in that light
A#     F
I just wanna be in
 C                Dm            C
Be in the light, light that surrounds you
A#     F                C
And I just wanna be in, be in the light
            Dm    A#
You get me high, love
      F                 C
We're always out of time

Chorus

Dm    A#             F     C
Every one of us got wanderlust
Dm    A#             F     C
Every one of us got wanderlust
Dm    A#             F     C
Every one of us got wanderlust
Dm    A#             F     C
Every one of us got wanderlust
