[Intro]
E B  x2


[Verse 1]
E                  B
  This is when the ink stops flowing
E                 G#m         F#
  This is when my head starts going
E                G#m               F#
  This is when I just can't get it out
E                  B
  This is when the hits keep coming
E                       G#m   F#
  Just when I think I'm on to something
E                  G#m            F#
  This is when the bottom bottoms out


[Refrain 1]
  G#m     E     B         F#
I promise good enough for you
    G#m    E     B      F#
and Then I never keep it
  G#m      E        B
I pace the floor at night when
F#      C#m
all the pretty world is sleeping
    E
And all the world is sleeping


[Chorus 1]
         B
When the lights go down and
    E
the girls are screaming
G#m        F#         B
Don't stop now Then I catch
                 E
my breath and my heart is
            G#m
beating and all I'm thinking
   F#         E  B E B E B F#
is Don't stop now


[Verse 2]
E                 B
  This is when my hands are shaking
E                  G#m       F#
  This is when the rules are breaking
E                  G#m             F#
  This is when the music plays too loud
E                   B
  This is when it's now or never
E                   G#m    F#
  When it goes from bad to better
E                 G#m                 F#
  This is when it all makes sense somehow


[Refrain 2]
  G#m     E     B         F#
I promise good enough for you
    G#m       E     B      F#
And pray that I can keep it
    G#m     E        B
And all the world is watching
F#        C#m              E
While I'm open mouthed and dreaming


[Chorus 2]
         B
When the lights go down and
    E
the girls are screaming
G#m        F#         B
Don't stop now Then I catch
                 E
my breath and my heart is
            G#m
beating and all I'm thinking
   F#
is Don't stop now


[Instrumental]
E B E G#m F# E B F#


[Refrain 3]
  G#m     E     B         F#
I promise good enough for you
    G#m       E     B      F#
And find that I can keep it
    G#m     E        B
And all the world is right with
F#     C#m
me And all we are is breathing


[Verse 3]
E                  B
  This is when the ink starts flowing
E                  G#m      F#
  This is where my heart is going
E                 G#m             F#
  This is when my hands belong to You


[Chorus 3]
         B
When the lights go down and
    E
the girls are screaming
G#m        F#         B
Don't stop now Then I catch
                 E
my breath and my heart is
            G#m
beating and all I'm thinking
   F#         B  E
is Don't stop now
G#m       F#
Don't we stop
        B              E
So I'll catch my breath
      G#m        F#
and I won't stop now
