Note: In the recording, the guitar ends in the second-to-last line of the final chorus,
however I believe the "right" chords would be F and then C to complete the progression.
[Intro]
C F#dim F C
[Verse]
C F#dim
I can't stand feeling violent
F C
But it's hard not to sometimes
C F#dim
When the innocent get slaughtered
F C
And the guilty get a fine
C F#dim
When I drown myself in chemicals
F C
Do I even have a choice?
C F#dim
And if you scream and no one hears you
F C
Are you even making noise?
[Chorus]
C G
All I wanna do is hold you
F C
But I'm afraid I'll squeeze too tight
C G
Until the energy leaves your body
F C
And the tears fall from your eyes
[Pre Verse]
C F#dim F C
[Verse]
C F#dim
We don't need to be coddled
F C
or to be told life is fair
C F#dim
By an omnipresent army
F C
with a power to be feared
C F#dim
So as we time out half-assed platforms
F C
As the victims form a line
C F#dim
Will the Riot Squad Protection Force
F C
Ever try to fight for life?
[Chorus]
C G
All I wanna do is hold you
F C
But I'm afraid I'll squeeze too tight
C G
Until the energy leaves your body
F C
And the tears fall from your eyes
Am G
All I wanna do is hold you
F Am
And I'm gonna squeeze you tight
Am G
Until I feel your heart restarting
N.C.
And bring the joy back to your life
