Bm             D
So you got away, something brought you back
F#m
To the kid that you were
Bm                D
For a couple days, everything you lacked
F#m
You possessed, it was yours

Bm                         E
Started slow, started late,
started strong then we lost faith
Bm                        E
Started slow, started to lose control,
the more we accelerate

With your hollow eyes, you keep coming back
It begins to transform
Can you spend the night? Can you be the raft?
In the eye of the storm?

Started slow, started late
Started strong, then we lost faith
Started slow, started to lose control
The more we accelerate, the more we accelerate

Chorus:
       F#m
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
            A
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
       F#m
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
         C#7
Already know it’s borrowed anyway
         D
Was the risk I sent to you received?
         A
Are the words we say to be believed?
            E
I’m already over the thrill of pursuit
             D
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
F#m                 D
Send this kiss to someone new?

So you're beaten up but you bounce back
It’s all part of the pull
And the story runs like a soundtrack
We repeat 'til we're full

Started slow, started late
Started strong, then we lost faith
Started slow, started to lose control
The more we accelerate, the more we accelerate

Chorus

F#m   E      D         A
So  there's no way to hide
F#m   E    C# D
Find some daylight
          Bm     A      E                  F#m
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
    Bm      A         E
And I'm inclined to try

Find some daylight
Hollow eyes
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try
