VERSE:

C                   G
I have never been a beautiful boy,
Em                       D
Never liked the sound of my own voice
C                        G
I wasn'’t cool when I was in my teens
Em                  D
I never slept but I did have dreams
C                         G
And as I step out in this big old world
Em                 D
Seven billion just tryin' to cope and
C                    G
Every one of us some day will die but
Em                 D
Today I never felt more alive


PRE-CHORUS:

        Am
Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?


CHORUS:

                     Cadd9  G
Running through your bo-o-ones?
                     Cadd9  G
Running through your b-o-ones?
                Em7
Yeah you set my heart on fire
        D                    Cadd9  D
And it’s all hard-wired to my bo-o-ones


VERSE:
C                   G
I can count all the things I fear
Em                             D
I close my eyes but they don'’t disappear
C                              G
If there'’s a God then there’s a guarantee
Em                           D
But if there’'s not it'’s just you and me


PRE-CHORUS:

        Am
Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?


CHORUS:

                     Cadd9  G
Running through your bo-o-ones?
                     Cadd9  G
Running through your b-o-ones?
                Em7
Yeah you set my heart on fire
        D                    Cadd9  D
And it’s all hard-wired to my bo-o-ones


BRIDGE:

   Cadd9              Em7
So kiss me before the sun falls down
D                Em7
Run before your legs give way
Cadd9           Em7
Swallow it all till you drown


PRE-CHORUS:

        Am
Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?


CHORUS:

                     Cadd9  G
Running through your bo-o-ones?
                     Cadd9  G
Running through your b-o-ones?
                Em7
Yeah you set my heart on fire
        D                    Cadd9  G
And it’s all hard-wired to my bo-o-ones
                     Cadd9  G
Running through your b-o-ones?
                Em7
Yeah you set my heart on fire
        D                    Cadd9  D
And it’s all hard-wired to my bo-o-ones
                     Cadd9  D
Running through my b-o-ones?
                     Cadd9  D
Running through my b-o-ones?
