     F                                      Dm                Am  C
You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust
         F                          Dm               Am C
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above

Chorus:
         A#
Got the music in you baby,
          F
Tell me why
         A#
Got the music in you baby,
         Dm
Tell me why
              A#                          C                  F C
You’ve been locked in here forever & you just can’t say goodbye

Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
You've been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark

Chorus

Gm7                           Fmaj7
Your lips, My lips, Apocalypse
Gm7                           Fmaj7
Your lips, My lips, Apocalypse
        A#                                    Gm                 F
Go and sneak us through the rivers, flood is rising up on your knees
     Dm
Oh please
 Gm7
Come out & haunt me I know you want me
 C
Come out & haunt me

Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist

Chorus

You’ve been locked in here forever & you just can’t say goodbye

Oh, when you're all alone
I will reach for you
When you're feeling low
I will be there too
