Verse:
G#m F#
We were speeding together down the dark avenues
G#m F#
But besides all the stardom, all we got?was?blues
G#m F#
But through all?the sorrow, we've been riding high
E G#m F#
And?the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go
G#m F#
We were scanning the cities, rocking to pay their dues
G#m F#
But besides all the glamor, all we got was bruised
G#m F#
But through all the sorrow, we've been riding high
E G#m F#
And the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go

B G#m D#m F# B
You go down just like Holy Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
B G#m D#m F# E

If you choose to run away with me, I will tickle you internally
B F#
And I see nothing wrong with that
