Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
C A Dm G
[Verse 1]
Every car I get into could crash
A
But, oh man, do I love going fast
Dm
There’s a chance that this plane’s going down
G
But I don’t wanna stay on the ground
C
Since I found myself another half
A
Part of me says don’t get too attached
Dm
What if time’s gonna number our days
G
Guess my heart’s gonna break either way
[Chorus]
C
Love is a risk
A
But what’s the alternative?
Dm
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
G
Going it all on my own
C
Life is a risk (Ah, ah, ah)
A
But what’s the alternative? (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Dm
When the planet keeps spinning around
G
I’d be somewhere missing out
C G F Em F
[Verse 2]
C
Life is short, things could change in a blink
A
Every time I jump in I might sink
Dm
But what better way to learn how to swim
G
So screw it, I’m diving back in
[Chorus]
C
Love is a risk
A
But what’s the alternative?
Dm
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
G
Going it all on my own
C
Life is a risk (Ah, ah, ah)
A
But what’s the alternative? (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Dm
When the planet keeps spinning around
G
I’d be somewhere missing out
C G F Em F
[Bridge]
Am Dm Am
There’s some days I can’t believe you’re really gone
G
It’s tempting me to
Am Dm Am G
Build a fort out of our sheets to stay inside and never leave
[Chorus]
C
Love is a risk (Ah, ah, ah)
A
But what’s the alternative? (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Dm
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
G
Going it all on my own
C
Life is a risk (life is a risk) (Ah, ah, ah)
A
But what’s the alternative? (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Dm
When the planet keeps spinning around
G
I’d be somewhere missing out
C G F Em F
C G F Em Fm
What’s the alternative?
Every car I get into could crash
But oh, man, do I love going fast
There's a chance that this plane's going down
But I don't wanna stay on the ground
Since I found myself another half
Part of me says, "Don't get too attached"
What if time's gonna number our days?
Guess my heart's gonna break, either way
Love is a risk
But what's the alternative?
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
Going it all on my own
Love is a risk (ah-ah-ah)
But what's the alternative? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
When the planet keeps spinning around
I'd be somewhere missing out (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is short, things could change in a blink
Every time I jump in, I might sink
But what better way to learn how to swim?
So screw it, I'm diving back in
Love is a risk
But what's the alternative?
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
Going it all on my own
Love is a risk (ah-ah-ah)
But what's the alternative? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
When the planet keeps spinning around
I'd be somewhere missing out (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
There's some days I can't believe you're really gone
It's tempting me to build a fort out of our sheets
To stay inside and never leave
Love is a risk (ah-ah-ah)
But what's the alternative? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Maybe sleeping at night all alone
Going it all on my own
Love is a risk (ah-ah-ah)
But what's the alternative? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
When the planet keeps spinning around
I'd be somewhere missing out (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
What's the alternative?
