Intro

F Dm Am C x2

Verse 1

You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust 
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above 

Chorus 1

Got the music in you baby,
Tell me why...
Got the music in you baby,
Tell me why...
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye 

Verse 2

Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms 
You’ve been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark… 

Chorus 2

Got the music in you baby,
Tell me why...
Got the music in you baby,
Tell me why...
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye 

Bridge

Your lips, my lips, apocalypse 
Your lips, my lips, apocalypse 
Go and sneak us through the rivers, flood is rising up on your knees
Oh, please…
Come out and haunt me, I know you want me
Come out and haunt me...

Verse 3

Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids 
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist… 

Chorus 3

Got the music in you baby,
Tell me why...
Got the music in you baby,
Tell me why...
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye 

Chorus 4

  
  
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye
(One empty measure)

Outro

Oh-ohh... when you’re all alone
I will reach for you
When you’re feeling low... I will be there too
(F) Dm Am C
