         C#                         Fm
We were born right here, where the mad ones go
       A#m                  F#
On the edge of town, on the verge of love
            C#                    Fm
And we grew up like this, riding bicycles
         A#m                       F#
We were born right here, now it's time to go

                 A#m                       G#
All of what was broken, all off what was frail here
                     F#
All the words we've spoken,
 we can leave it all behind

Chorus:
       C#                      G#
If we run like we are made of light,
                       A#m
like we are worth the fight
                   F#
I think we are the only lovers left alive
 C#                      G#
Run, go faster, take my hand, don't linger,
       G#/C  A#m
don't look down
                   F#
I think we are the only lovers left alive

C#
 Ooh-woah
G#
 Ooh-woah
A#m       F#
 Ooh-woah

I know you're afraid, I have seen you cried
But you are not alone, and we will never die

All of what was broken, all off what was frail here
All the words we've spoken,
we can leave it all behind

Chorus

Ooh-woah
Ooh-woah
Ooh-woah
Ooh-woah

A#m                    G#/C
You are mine, let the stars align
       F#
Let me show you where we could go,
                  F7
follow the river, oh
A#m                 G#/C                F#
Be mine, leave the pain behind and lift off,
          G#
just lift off

Chorus:
And we can run like we are made of light,
like we are worth the fight
I think we are the only lovers left alive
Run, go faster, take my hand, don't linger,
don't look down
I think we are the only lovers left alive

Ooh-woah
Ooh-woah
Ooh-woah
We are the only lovers left alive

Run (Ooh)
Run (Ooh)
Run (Ooh)
Only lovers left alive
