F  Am C 


 
        F 
I was floating there for so long 
Am                          C 
 King of nothing, but the space I take up 
F                                 Am          C 
 I felt it all at once (I felt it all at once) 
        F 
I was floating there for so long 
Am                 Em 
 Petrified by the sight of the sun 
F                                       C          Em 
 I felt it all at once, it felt like nothing at all 
             F 
Fire broke loose in a moment there 
           Am                      Em 
I let it breathe for the first time 
            F 
And as it danced through the room undressing, it held 
C               Em 
 The closet shut, but I was out with the 


 F                            Am 
Beacons of that shame left behind 
               Em            F 
For the first time I felt alive 

I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm 
 C                               Em 
Running with you now, we're a stampede, tell me 
 F                       Am 
Everything I know about love 
           Em              F 
Now it's thicker than my blood 

I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm 
 C                               Em 
Running with you now, we're a stampede, baby 

 
Am   F 
I-I, I 
     Am                              C 
I'm running with you now, we're a stampede, baby 
F 
I-I, I 
     Am                              C 
I'm running with you now, we're a stampede 


 
        F 
I was floating there for so long 
Am                        Em 
 I couldn't speak, now I can't stop my tongue 
F                                C           Em 
 Nobody shut me up, no, it was nothing at all 
     F 
So throw away the albatross 
       Am                Cm* Em 
Take fortune in everything 
             F 
And be the sword swinging back to the anvil that birthed it 
C                           Em 
Put your pain on the pyre, let the light be the 

 
 F                            Am 
Beacons of that shame left behind 
               Em            F 
For the first time I felt alive 

I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm 
 C                               Em 
Running with you now, we're a stampede, tell me 
 F                       Am 
Everything I know about love 
           Em              F 
Now it's thicker than my blood 

I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm 
 C                               Em 
Running with you now, we're a stampede, oh 

 
 C                            F 
Beacons of that shame left behind

Running with you now, we're a stampede, tell me 
 Am                       F 
Everything I know about love 
                          Am 
Now it's thicker than my blood 

I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm 
 F 
Running with you now, we're a stampede
