INTRO:
C# - C# [x3]
C# - A#m - Fm - F# [x2]
VERSE 1:
C# A#m
This escapee was never gonna stay
Fm F#
On an unfamiliar building on the rooftop where we lay
C A#m
Where all the constellations shine to pave the way
Fm F#
Temptation's not a word until we've let it go a stray
C# A#m
And I won't delete it
Fm F#
He won't delete it, wha-ha-ho!

VERSE 2:
C# A#m
Light bolts hover over you all day
Fm F#
Oh darkness can be difficult like needles in the hay
C# A#m
I need to flick the switch and show you how to hide
Fm F#
And love is not the answer if you're taking me for a
C# A#m Fm F#
Ri-i-i-i-ide
C# A#m Fm F#
For a ri-i-i-i-ide
VERSE 1 REPRISE:
C# A#m
This escapee was never gonna stay
Fm F#
On an island way too difficult to be stuck in a daze
C# A#m
And all the competition's overcome what may
Fm F#
Temptation's not a word until we've let it go astray
C# A#m
And I won't delete it
Fm F#
He won't delete it, wha-ha-ho!
