[Intro]
Riff 1 x 2

[Verse 1]
   F     G                    Am        G
Electric tongues just for the ride
F             G                Am              G
I keep an eye on myself and my hands by my side
  F       G                Am             G
'Cause my electric tongues knows forgone brides
F      G
I will cherish you
Am
Just for the night

Riff 1 x2

[Verse 2]
F         G              Am      G
Electric tongues move up our spines
F          G               Am      G
We move in motions filled with lies (We just speak, we don't say anything)
F         G
'Cause I can't dance and you know
Am G
You're better than I
F               G
But you'll come home with me
Am            G
Just for one night

[Chorus]

Riff 1 (F G Am G)
Let's be reckless

We can burn like a first flame, my love (They don't need, they don't need to know)

Riff 1 (F G Am G)
Let's be careless and kind (They don't need, they don't need to know)

[Verse 3]
F     G
Let's be reckless
Am                   G
And we can do all the things you want to (They don't need, they don't need to know)
F                     G
'Cause in the morning I will be gone
Am              G
On the loveless life (They don't need, they don't need to know)

[Bridge]
F

Am G F C 

Am G F C

[Verse 4]
Am           G             F
Buds with no taste for the sweetest fruits in the daylight
Am           G             F               C
You're sleeping sound, you're sleeping sound
Am             G
I'm careful not to wake
F
Your charms have become stale in my bed
Am                    G
And when my bleary eyes become clear
F               C
We'll wish we never had
F          G         Am         G
Electric tongues just for the ride
F          G         Am         G
Electric tongues just for the ride
F          G         Am         G
You shoulda never been by my side
F          G         Am         G
Electric tongues just for the ride


[Chorus]
Riff 1 (F G Am G)
Let's be reckless

We can burn like a first flame, my love

Riff 1 (F G Am G)
Let's be careless and kind

[Outro]
F
Maybe all I wanted was a second of the first touch
