Verse 1:
          F#m     C#m
You know the way my blood runs
             E  B
'Cause darlin' you're the only one
         F#m      C#m
Can you and I go somewhere?
          E   B
Go somewhere we can be alone
          F#m     C#m
Lying like John and Yoko
      E      B
Or fake our deaths and leave
            F#m   C#m
Am I tripping, are you with me?
             E  B
'Cause darlin' you're the only one


Pre-Chorus:
  F#m      C#m
The world is going mad
    E      B
You and I can hide away
    F#m      C#m
I can't stand the TV screen
    E
Turn it off, pull the plug
     B
They can try, they won't find us

Chorus:
F#m           C#m
Slow down your heartbeat
E              B
Close your eyes and don't speak
F#m         C#m
And lay with my body
 E     B
Play dead, play dead with me
F#m       C#m
No need to escape
E          B
We can find our own way
      F#m        C#m
You got me hiding in cupboards
 E     B
Play dead, play dead with me


Verse 2:
          F#m  C#m
We'll stock up some ration
          E     B
So we don't have to leave this room
             F#m   C#m
I'm dead, don't care what happens
         E     B
As long as I'm in here with you


Pre-Chorus:
      F#m      C#m
'Cause the world is going mad
    E       B
You and I should hide away
    F#m      C#m
I can't stand the TV screen
    E
Turn it off, pull the plug
     B
They can try, they won't find us


Chorus:
F#m           C#m
Slow down your heartbeat
E              B
Close your eyes and don't speak
F#m         C#m
And lay with my body
 E     B
Play dead, play dead with me
F#m       C#m
No need to escape
E          B
We can find our own way
      F#m        C#m
You got me hiding in cupboards
 E     B
Play dead, play dead with me

F#m C#m E B


Bridge:
          F#m  C#m
You know that I was quiet
          E    B
We'll walk outside into the show
           F#m    C#m
We'll run a light in thousands
         E        B
'Cause everybody else is growing old


Chorus:
  F#m           C#m
So slow down your heartbeat
E              B
Close your eyes and don't speak
F#m          C#m
Lay here with my body
 E    B
Play dead
F#m           C#m
Slow down your heartbeat
E              B
Close your eyes and don't speak
F#m         C#m
And lay with my body
 E     B
Play dead, play dead with me
F#m       C#m
No need to escape
E          B
We can find our own way
      F#m        C#m
You got me hiding in cupboards
 E     B         F#m C#m E
Play dead, play dead with me
B         F#m C#m
Play dead with me
 E     B
Play dead, play dead with me
