VERSE:

~~~~~~

Bsus2 Bm

The lanes were silent

Dsus2 Esus2 F# A5 A#5 Bsus2

There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles

Bsus2

I doused our friendly venture

Dsus2 Esus2

With a hard-faced three-word gesture

CHORUS:

~~~~~~~

C#m7 C#7

I started something, I forced you to a zone

D7 E7 F7 F#

And you were clearly never meant to go

C#m7

Hair brushed and parted

C#7

Typical me, typical me, typical me

D7

I started something

E7 F7 F# A5 A#5 Bsus2

And now I'm not too sure

[Repeat Intro/Chorus chords for outro]
