Cigarette ash like wildfire
Burning holes in the nighttime
Open scars cut like barbed wire
White lies flying high like a ceasefire
Dropping flags on the shoreline
This is as far as I can feel right
Cause what you don t know
Can haunt you

And all we ever wanted
Was sunlight and honesty
Highlights to wanna repeat
Let s get away from here and

Live like the movies do
I won t mind when its over
At least I didn t think for a while
[Chorus]
(Play chords as barre chords on the E string)
So let s run
Make a great escape
And I ll be waiting outside for the getaway
It doesn t matter who we are
We ll keep running through the dark
And all we ll ever need is another day
We can slow down cause tomorrow is a mile away
And live like shooting stars
Cause happy endings hardest to fake
[Verse 2]
Sunsets on power lines
Making a break for the otherside
Heading out to where that sunshine
45 millimeter rolling like we lost time
Polaroids and outcast
Rather burnout young than grow up fast
And we could be forever futurebound
Cause all I need is time and now
And I could leave this past behind me
And maybe I ll see a way for me to stay
When there s so much out there
So I ll live forgetting for the time being
And I won t mind when its over
At least I didn t think for a while
[Chorus]
So let s run
Make a great escape
And I ll be waiting outside for the getaway
It doesn t matter who we are
We ll keep running through the dark
And all we ll ever need is another day
We can slow down cause tomorrow is a mile away
And live like shooting stars
Cause happy endings hardest to fake
[Bridge]
(pluck E and G strings)
And I wanna let you know
I wanna let you go
But I just can t bring myself to speak
But this is how it goes
The end credits, they roll
This bridge was built over kerosene
But we can watch it
Burn down
We can watch it burn down
[Pre-Chorus]
And all we ever wanted
Was sunlight and honesty
Highlights to wanna repeat
Let s get away from here and
Live like the movies do
I won t mind when its over
At least I didn t think
[Chorus]
So let s run
Make a great escape
And I ll be waiting outside for the getaway
It doesn t matter who we are
We ll keep running through the dark
And all we ll ever need is another day
We can slow down cause tomorrow is a mile away
And live like shooting stars
Cause you can wIsH away forever
But you ll never find a thing like today
oh man
