VERSE:
~~~~~~

Bsus2          Bm
The lanes were silent

          Dsus2              Esus2                   F# A5 A#5 Bsus2
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles

                         Bsus2
I doused our friendly venture

       Dsus2      Esus2
With a hard-faced three-word gesture


CHORUS:
~~~~~~~

C#m7                   C#7 
I started something, I forced you to a zone

             D7      E7    F7          F#
And you were clearly never meant to go

C#m7
Hair brushed and parted

        C#7
Typical me, typical me, typical me

          D7
I started something

    E7      F7           F# A5 A#5 Bsus2
And now I'm not too sure


[Repeat Intro/Chorus chords for outro]
