                    F#
Sometimes we get confused
   G#m                              E               B
We never quite know what we want until the day we do
                        F#
'Cause we don't get to choose
    G#m
You can't just run away from love,
      E
when love comes chasing you

B              F#
They say don't fall too hard
   G#m                 E
Or you'll just lose it all
B               F#
They made these rules
                G#m
They break them too
            E
The same as us

Chorus:
                                 F#
So we don't need permission for nothing

Drink like you wanna be drunk, yeah
                          E
Feel like you wanna feel something
     B
Oh, so we don't need permission

Sometimes we get confused
We never quite know what we want until the day we do
'Cause we don't get to choose
You can't just run away from love
When love comes chasing you

They say don't fall too hard
Or you'll just lose it all
They made these rules
They break them too
The same as us

Chorus:
So we don't need permission for nothing
Touch like you wanna be touched, yeah
Kiss like you wanna be kissed, yeah
Oh, we don't need permission for nothing
Drink like you wanna be drunk, yeah
Feel like you wanna feel something
Oh, we don't need permission

   F#       G#m
To love, to love
    E
To love, to love, to love, to love
    B
To love, to love, to love, to love

        F#
We can stay up all night if we want to
G#m
Dance in the dark if we want to
E
Take off our clothes if we want to
B
We don't need, no-no
       F#
We can lose our minds if we want to
G#m
Turn up the noise if we want to
E
Wake up the neighbours, drive them crazy

Chorus:
So we don't need permission for nothing
Touch like you wanna be touched, yeah
Kiss like you wanna be kissed, yeah
Oh, we don't need permission for nothing
Drink like you wanna be drunk, yeah
Feel like you wanna feel something
Oh, we don't need permission (To love)
For nothing
Touch like you wanna be touched, yeah (To love)
Kiss like you wanna be kissed, yeah
(To love, to love, to love, to love)
Oh, we don't need permission for nothing (To love)
Drink like you wanna be drunk, yeah (To love)
Feel like you wanna feel something
(To love, to love, to love, to love)
Oh (To love, to love, to love, to love)
To love, to love, to love
We don't need permission to love
