 F#           C#         G#m 
Today we went out by the tall grass 
    F#        C# 
Laid under the sky 
    F#             C#      G#m 
Saw you scan for a bomb or a plane crash 
      F#                      C# 
If nothing's wrong, it ain't right 
    F#             C#      G#m 
Up late keeping watch like a guard dog 
      F#   C#  G#m 
You stay by the bed 
    F#             C#      G#m 
Afraid I'll be gone when you wake up 
    F#                     C# 
Well, that hasn't happened yet 
 

 
                         C# 
And I feel you keeping me outside 
                         C# 
Why don't you speak your mind? 
 

 
                          F#           B/Bb G#m 
You think your mouth is a loaded gun 
                                    C# 
And you're scared you'll pull it on me 
F#                                                B/Bb G#m 
Well, there's nothing you could say to make me run 
                                  C# 
So don't love me like I'm gonna leave 
 

Interlude

 F#           C#         G#m 
I know you were born on a fault line 
    F#            C#   G#m Cm  
In some ways, so was I 
          F#           C#         G#m 
I grew up under towering buildings 
                 F#        C# 
Swore they could fall any time 
 F#                   C#         G#m 
Sometimes, I can tell when you kiss me 
       F#                C#   G#m A#m  
You're scared it's our last 
                  F#           C#         G#m 
Do you really believe I would put out the fire? 
               F#          C# 
Babe, I'm the one with the match 
 

 
                           F#           B/Bb G#m 
You think your mouth is a loaded gun 
                                    C# 
And you're scared you'll pull it on me 
F#                                              B/Bb G#m 
Well, there's nothing you could say to make me run 
                                C# 
So don't love me like I'm gonna leave 
F#                                       B/Bb G#m 
That night you asked if we were too in love 
                         C# 
I understood it for the both of us 
F#                                     B/Bb G#m 
The only thing that's gonna fuck this up 
                                   C# 
Is if you love me like I'm gonna leave 
                     F# 
Like I'm gonna leave 
 

Outro 
F# 
Oh we can ride it out 
                    B/Bb G#m 
Just let your guard come down 
G#m 
Nothing's so different now 
C# 
Nothing is different now 
F# 
Yeah, we can ride this out 
               B/Bb  G#m 
We're still on solid ground 
G#m 
And when it gets too loud 
C# 
I'm gonna stick around 
F# 
I feel it when we touch 
                 B/Bb     G#m 
You're running through my blood 
G#m 
And I can't get enough 
C# 
I'll never get enough 
F# 
So please believe me now 
               B/Bb  G#m 
I love you, scream it loud 
G#m 
We're gonna ride this out 
C# 
We're gonna ride this out 


F#      B/Bb G#m 
Oh, Ah 
                                C# 
So don't love me like I'm gonna leave, 
Like I'm gonna leave)
