Verse 1

We escape from the house

As the day disappears from the sky

Into night

We became what we wanted to be

Verse 2
Em 
Am 
Like a dream or a ghost
Dm 
I collapse out of turn
Near a house
Am 
Lying still in the grass and felt the
heat from the ground

Rising up to contract and ex

We escape from that place

Soaked with sweat and

Fill the bathtub with ice and hope

Verse 7
Dm 
Then we are back in the dark
Chasing nothing
through backyards and trees

You ripped your shirt on a fence

It makes you so low

Their shadows cut lines through my face
and the concrete is fire
C 
Where my bare feet are placed

In a line next to yours

I put my hands on the fence

Said your name

G 
Am 
It was sweet and my mouth was dry
