[Verse 1]
  G#m                          B                          F#     C#
How can you be so certain that you're the one flirting with fire

  G#m                             B                  F#          C#                          G#m
If each choir needs preaching and everyone's reaching into their pockets to see what they got

G#m      B              F#                    C#        G#m
If not a lot has changed, but if everything's changing

G#m      B          F#                    C#          G#m
Blame to see you sin, but no one sees face-to-face or eye-to-eye

        B                 F#    C#
This is not how it has to end
[Pre-Chorus]
                G#m
Who wants to be one step ahead

        F#                  C#
And the first to the punchline?

     G#m
Just one step ahead

F#                 C#    G#m
First to the punchline
[Chorus]
        B               A#m         G#m
When it feels like it's all closing in, mmm

        B               A#m             G#m
All the linеs we won't cross, we bend instеad

B                  A#m                      G#m
Never mind all the noise going through your head, oh

       F#            E                G#m
'Cause every time we talk, we say the same things that we say

           F#                 E                        G#m
'Cause you never mind all the noise going through your head
G#m B F# C# x2 [Verse 2]
          G#m              B                        F#     C#
How can I be so certain in my first impressions are mine?

        G#m                    B                      F#
If each morning I wake up with circles around me that say

       C#                      B            B
"I got mine, I give in, I give up, it's too much"

 F#                       C#
"Come one, let's give 'em hell!"

             G#m
"No, why not love?" you say

        B                        F#                C#
"Be too hard and that's not enough in this house of cards"
[Pre-Chorus]
                G#m
Who wants to be one step ahead

        F#                C#
And the first to the punchline?

     G#m
Just one step ahead

    F#                C#   G#m
The first to the punchline
[Chorus]
        B               A#m         G#m
When it feels like it's all closing in, mmm

        B              A#m              G#m
All the lines we won't cross, we bend instead

B                  A#m                      G#m
Never mind all the noise going through your head, oh

        F#           E                G#m
'Cause every time we talk, we say the same things that we say

    F#            E                 G#m
And every line we cross, we say the same things that we say

F#             E               G#m                  G#m
Every time we try, we play the same old games, it's all been said

     F#                 E                        G#m
Now, never mind all the noise going through your head
