INTRO:
C# - C# (x3)
C# - A#m - Fm - F# (x2)
VERSE 1:
C#A#m
This escapee was never gonna stay
FmF#
On an unfamiliar building on the rooftop where we lay
CA#m
Where all the constellations shine to pave the way
FmF#
Temptation's not a word until we've let it go a stray
C#A#m
And I won't delete it
FmF#
He won't delete it, wha-ha-ho!
VERSE 2:
C#A#m
Light bolts hover over you all day
FmF#
Oh darkness can be difficult like needles in the hay
C#A#m
I need to flick the switch and show you how to hide
FmF#
And love is not the answer if you're taking me for a
C#A#mF#
Ri-i-i-i-ide
C#A#mF#
For a ri-i-i-i-ide
VERSE 1 REPRISE:
C#A#m
This escapee was never gonna stay
FmF#
On an island way too difficult to be stuck in a daze
C#A#m
And all the competition's overcome what may
FmF#
Temptation's not a word until we've let it go astray
C#A#m
And I won't delete it
FmF#
He won't delete it, wha-ha-ho!
