Intro:
Em

Verse 1:
     Em
Let it slide

All the choices I made
      B
Let it burn

As it rolls down my face
      G
Let it fall
           Am
Just to be the one again
          Bm
But if I want

I won't be loved by you at all
      Em
Let it slip

Every promise I break
       B
Let it burn

All the blows that we trade
       G
Let it fall
               Am
'cause this place has been condemned
             Bm
And we both know
              B
That we can't be here anymore

Instrumental:
Em   A D

Chorus:
 C
Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart
       Em
But I lost sight of the target when you let down your guard
             D
Should've run, run a hundred miles

Never look back, Jack, 'cause now we can't backtrack
                            C
And yeah, I know what you'll say, nothing can change
                              Em
No one to blame, it's on the tip of my tongue
                                          D
Here it comes, this is crazy, you should know that

I would go back in a heartbeat

Just to make your heart beat
Em

Verse 2:
 Em
Let it fail

It's too late to be saved
       B
Let it roll

They're all across this grey
       G
Let it blaze
           Am
There's a darkness in the flame
         Bm
And it's lost

And we can't bear it anymore
       Em
Let it slide

I can't start it again
        B
Let it burn

While it's held in my hand
       G
Let it fall
             Am
'cause this journey is at its end
         Em
It's only luck
  B
That I was loved by you at all

Instrumental:
Em A D

Chorus:
 C
Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart
       Em
But I lost sight of the target when you let down your guard
            D
Should've run, run a hundred miles

Never look back track, 'cause now we can backtrack
                            C
And yeah, I know what you'll say, nothing can change
                             Em
No one to blame, it's on the tip of my tongue
                        D
Here it comes, this is crazy, you should know that

I would go back in a heartbeat

Just to make your heart beat

Chorus:
   C
Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart
        Em
But I lost sight of the target when you let down your guard
           D
Should've run, run a hundred miles

Never look back track, 'cause now we can backtrack
   C
And yeah, I know what you'll say, nothing can change
                             Em
No one to blame, it's on the tip of my tongue
                                   D
Here it comes, this is crazy, you should know that

I would go back in a heartbeat
                           G
