Bm                   Em
I'll wait until you have to go,

I'll make it so you never ever know
     Em     G             F#
How much I have messed it up
Bm                       Em
We're running round like we don't care,
G                     F#
It's gonna leave its marks somewhere,
    Bm      Em   G               F#
Do you want to show me something new?

Bm
Just tell me what I have to do,
A
To keep myself apart from you
F#m               Em
All your colors start to burn
Bm
I know I wanted far too much,
A
Then I thought that wouldn't be enough
F#m                Em
All this talk is bruising you.

Chorus:
      Bm    D Em A
Take shelter,
          Bm    D Em
Take the pressure,
 A           Bm          D
Do what you want tonight, it's alright,
Em      A          Bm
If you want to get used,
 D      Em  A
You get used
       Bm   D Em A
Take shelter,
           Bm   D Em
Take the pressure,
 A           Bm          D
Do what you want tonight, it's alright,
Em      A          Bm
If you want to get used,
D        Em  A
Then get used

I don’t really wanna stop myself
Nobody’s gonna tell me I need help
Are you coming over soon?
I meet you at the darkest time
You hold me, and I have to shut my eyes
I’m shy
Can I be what you like?

You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way

Just tell me what
I have to do to keep myself apart from you
All your colours start to burn

Chorus

Bm
I don't really need this pressure to go
        Em
If you wanna find love,
                             G
If you wanna find something more
                    D          A
I?ll be the one to run for you.
Bm
I don't really need this pressure to go
        Em
If you wanna find love,
                             G
If you wanna find something more
                    D         A
I'll be the one to run for you!

Chorus
