Em                 G                          B
We've been out of luck, dreamin' like we're stuck
        C                     Em
Under clouds that might come down
                 G                B
Phone is always sad, TV's always mad
        C                Em
So we block out all the sounds

             G
The static, hold me
           B               C
Don't you let the monsters in
    Em                  G
I know you'll keep me steady
          B
When the ceiling starts to spin

Chorus:
         Am               D
Hell is right around the corner
          G              C
but it's heaven next to you
          Am               D
Let's pretend we won't get older if
    G                C
we never leave this room
                Am             D
Just close the windows, forget all
               B               C
our troubles, let 'em go like we don't know
         Am               D
Hell is right around the corner but
         B
I'll forgive the world as long as it has you

Spendin' all our days livin' in a daydream
And I wouldn't change a thing
When I'm in your arms, lyin' in the dark
I can ignore all the

Sounds of static, hold me
Don't you let the monsters in
I know you'll keep me steady
When the ceiling starts to spin

Chorus:
Hell is right around the corner
but it's heaven next to you
Let's pretend we won't get older
if we never leave this room
Just close the windows, forget all our traumas,
let 'em go like we don't know
Hell is right around the corner but
I'll forgive the world as long as it has you
But I'll forgive the world as long as it has you

Hell is right around the corner but
it's heaven next to you
Let's pretend we won't get older if
we never leave this room
Just close the windows, forget all
our traumas, let 'em go like we don't know
Hell is right around the corner but
I'll forgive the world as long as it has you
