The Beths - Acrid

[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A Amaj7 F#m
Acrid, the smell of burning rubber is a daily feature
D A
When I throw myself into reverse
A Amaj7 F#m
Check out of my surroundings, backin’ up so blindly
D
My back to the universe
Bm E7
Like a ship out of commission
Bm E7
Like an arrow always missing
D
I’m always missing

A

[Verse 2]
A Amaj7 F#m
I’m trying to lie like a pro and I know
D A
It looks easy from the outside
A Amaj7 F#m
But it’s hard to hold your brow just so, enough to show
D Bm
I’ve got other places to go tonight
Bm E7
Like a record slowly twisting
Bm E7
Like an arrow always missing
D
I’m always whistling by

[Chorus]
A G D
But it’s you, it’s you
A G D
I wanna run into you

I wanna run into
Bm E7
Like the wind blowing in through your cold room
Bm D F#m
I will get the door on the way through
E7 Bm
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]
A Amaj F#m
Tragic, the messages I send, my mind post-midnight
D A
Are showing seen but no reply
A Amaj7 F#m
So I mash the keys a million times for a million years and
D Bm
Maybe by chance, I’ll say it right
Bm E7
Closing in on your middle distance
Bm E7
Filling quivers with ammunition
D
But I’m always missing

[Chorus]
A G D
You, you (You)
A G D
I wanna run into you (You)

I wanna run into
Bm E7
Like the light burning bright in your hard heart
Bm D F#m
I won’t make a sound when I go dark
E7 Bm
Ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
C#m Bm
Can you see me through?
C#m Bm
Do you hear me scratching at the outlines of you?
D C#m Bm
I feel your heartbeat from a mile away
Bm
(Like it knows what I’m trying to say)
D
What I’m trying to say (I’m trying to say)
A
Trying to say (I’m trying to say)

A

[Outro]
A (G/A) D
It’s you, you
A G D
I wanna run into you
A G D
I wanna run into you, you (You)
A G D
I wanna run into you (You)
A G D
I wanna run into you (You)
A G D
You (You)
A G D
I wanna run into you (You)
A G D
I wanna run into you (You)

A
