Em C G D 
 
A charcoal heart that you can't ignore 
Because you've been burned before 
You tell me that everything that is good will end 
You were building castles in the air 
But they fell to the ground there was nothing there 
You said you'd never get so close again 
 
Em C G D 
 
And lately, it's yellow lights and you're braking 
Say you just want to wait and see it all unfold 
But baby when you find what you're seeking 
Something you can believe in you just got to go 
 
Chorus: 
 
Em C G D 
 
So let's not take it slow 
Let's not take it slow 
I don't want to take it slow 
Let's not take it slow 
 
verse 2: 
 
Em C G D 
 
I don't want to rush your love 
I can never get enough 
I'm sitting outside your door 
I give you everything you need 
Sunshine, the world and all your dreams 
So what are we waiting for 
 
Em C G D 
 
But lately, it's yellow lights and you're braking 
Say you just want to wait and see it all unfold 
But baby when you find what you're seeking 
Something you can believe in you just got to go 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
 
Em C G D 
 
Waiting for the perfect storm 
We've been slowly chasing love 
Now it's time to cross the line 
And I want more 
 
But lately, it's yellow lights and your braking 
Say you just want to wait and see it all unfold 
But baby when you find what you're seeking 
Something you can believe in you just got to go
