[Intro]
F Dm Am C x2
[Verse 1]
F Dm Am C
You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust
F Dm Am C
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above
[Chorus 1]
Bb
Got the music in you baby,
F
Tell me why...
Bb
Got the music in you baby,
Dm
Tell me why...
Bb C F C
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye
[Verse 2]
F Dm Am C
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
F Dm Am C
You’ve been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark…
[Chorus 2]
Bb
Got the music in you baby,
F
Tell me why...
Bb
Got the music in you baby,
Dm
Tell me why...
Bb C F C
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye
[Bridge]
Gm7 Fmaj7
Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
Gm7 Fmaj7
Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
Bb Gm F
Go and sneak us through the rivers, flood is rising up on your knees
Dm
Oh, please…
Gm7
Come out and haunt me, I know you want me
C
Come out and haunt me...
[Verse 3]
F Dm Am C
Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids
F Dm Am C
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist…
[Chorus 3]

Got the music in you baby,
F
Tell me why...
Bb
Got the music in you baby,
Dm
Tell me why...

You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye

Great tab! I prefer putting the capo on the fourth fret because it fits better to my voice :)
