Verse 1

C

My castle crumbled overnight

G

I brought a knife to a gunfight

Am

They took the crown, but it’s alright

F

All the liars are calling me one

C

Nobody’s heard from me for months

G

I’m doing better than I ever was

Chorus

C

’Cause my baby’s fit like a daydream

G

Walking with his head down

Am

I’m the one he’s walking to

F

So call it what you want, yeah

C

Call it what you want to

My baby’s fly like a jet stream

Am

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I’m brand new

C

So call it what you want, yeah

G

Call it what you want to

Verse 2

C

All my flowers grew back as thorns

G

Windows boarded up after the storm

Am

He built a fire just to keep me warm

F

All the drama queens taking swings

C

All the jokers dressing up as kings

G

They fade to nothing when I look at him

Chorus

And my baby’s fit like a daydream

Bridge

F

I want to wear his initial

On a chain round my neck, chain round my neck

But ’cause he really knows me

F

Which is more than they can say

C

I recall late November

G

Holding my breath, slowly I said

Am

”You don’t need to save me

F

But would you run away with me?”

C

Yes
