The sea is whipping the sky
    G
The sky is whipping the sea
        Em
You can hide away forever from the storm
           G                    D
But you'll never hide away from me
    G
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
           Em       D            C
And we may lose everything in the wind
        G
But the Northern Lights are burning
            Em
And they're giving off sparks
          Am                                   D
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin

    G
You know I'm onto your scent
      G               G
We're near the end of the chase
       C
Take a look out your window and I'll be there in the night
     G
Your love is so close that I can almost taste it
    G
The cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
           Em       G            C
And we may lose everything in the wind
        G
But the Northern Lights are burning

And they're giving off sparks
          Am                                   D
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin


Pre Chorus:
            G
You've been living your life like a girl in a cage
        G
And you whisper when I want you to shout
      G
And I wonder why you wanna go on sleeping
             D
When there's nothing left to dream about
        D
But you better remember

        G
If it's something I want then it's something I need
         Em       Am             G         C
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed
        G
If it's something I want then it's something I need
  G      Em        Am            C
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed

I'm never gonna be what I should
        G                  D                     C
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while
      Am                D         Em      C
But I know that I'll be bad for good (ooh oo)
  D                  D       G
I know that I'll be bad for good
   Am        Em      D       G
(I know that I'll be bad for good)

Verse 2:
G
Your eyes are darker than sin
              G
And I've been watching them glow
       C                         Am
Take a chance on a promise and a roll of the dice
         G                       D          G
Put your foot on the gas, let it go, let it go, let it go
