Eadd9            F#m                 A2
  never want to  fly never want to leave
                 B
  never want to say what you mean to me
E                F#m                   A2
  never want to  run frightened to believe
                       B
  you're the best thing about me

E F#m A F#m A A B A
E F#m A F#m A F#m B  *

F#m                   A
sometimes i feel like this is only chemistry
F#m             A
stuck in a maze searching for a way to
F#m                   A
shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me
F#m                      A                  F#m ** A
you're so close where do you end where do i begin  always pushing and pulling
F#m              A
sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me
F#m           A
i'm in a daze stumbling bewildered
F#m              A
north of gravity head up in the stratosphere
F#m       A               F#m  **   A                             **  F#m A
you and i rollercoaster riding love you're the center of adrenalin
and i'm beginning to understand

chorus:
    E               F#m                 A
     never want to  fly never want to leave
                    B
     never want to say what you mean to me
    E               F#m                   E
     never want to  run frightened to believe
                          B           *
     you're the best thing about me

F#m                  A
walk on broken glass make my way through fire
F#m              A
these are things i would do for love
F#m                    A
farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason
F#m              A                    **  F#m A
up is down the impossible occurs each day
                            ** F#m A
this intoxication thrills me         i only pray it doesn't kill me

(chorus)

E F#m A F#m A A B A
E F#m A F#m A F#m B  **
                               **
you're the center of adrenalin
                          E  F#m A F#m A A B A
and i'm beginning to understand
                 E         F#m A          F#m A F#m B
you could be the best thing    about me oh

what if you're the best thing   about me oh     you're the best thing   about me
         A       E            F#m            A                       A B
