Verse: G# - B - G# - E (0799XX) power chords

Please come tempt me,

you've got something

good in mind.

Dropped everything glad to be

persuade this time.

Prechorus: G# - F# - E - F#

Into the car baby bleed the gas,

fast as fast, never turning back.

Oh yeah, not scared of that,

the past has passed and we cannot take it back.

They want to know

if we could get away.

Yeah we backed it up

and made our great escape.

When the dust will settle

and they'll discover

the furthest exodus getting somewhere.

While the messengers

get the message in,

try to capture us

we've done nothing wrong. (End with G#)

Please come tempt me

steal me from this priss-teen life.

Oh so gently

everyone feels pain this time.

And she wants me,

and she needs me

and can have me all of the time

And she wants me and she needs me,

circle circle dot dot dot.
