you're something beautiful
B
a contradiction
E
I wanna play the game

I want the friction

Am       B      E         F    G
you will be the death of me

[Verse 2]
Am
I wanted freedom
B
bound and restricted
E
I tried to give you up
F         G
but I'm addicted

Am
now that you know I'm trapped
B
sense of elation
E
you'd never dream of
F         G
breaking this fixation
