Capo 2
[Short Instrumental Intro]
Am C Am C Am C G
[Verse 1]
Am
I can see the storms, in her eyes now
C
I'm falling overboard, in the waves
Dm
In over my head and she's a high tide
Fm
That keeps pushing me away
Am
I thought that we would build this together
G
But everything I touch just seems to break
Dm
Am I your sail or your anchor?
Fm G
Am I the calm or the hurricane?
G
I feel the ground start to shake
Fm
I hear a voice shouting, "No!"
G Fm
But there is no fucking way I'd leave you
[Chorus]
Am C
So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
Am C
You touch me like a razor blade
Am C G
I wish there was some other way right now
Am C
Like a house on fire we're up in flames
Am C
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
Am C G Fm
To let you know I won't let go of you
[Verse 2]
Am
But is the soundtrack to our lives
G
The bang of a slamming door?
Dm
What happens when we all start to feel like
Fm G
Nothing matters anymore?
Am
Every day like a chambered round
G
A trigger pulled, a hammer click
Dm
A breath we hold, a world outside I can't control
Fm G
No matter what I do
[Chorus]
Am C
So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
Am C
You touch me like a razor blade
Am C G
I wish there was some other way right now
Am C
Like a house on fire we're up in flames
Am C
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
Am C G Fm
To let you know I won't let go of you
[Bridge]
Am
And how is it a thing?
G
That we just wanna hurt each other
Fm
I'm waiting out the rain
G
Cause life is gonna rain forever
Am
Someday you will learn
G
That all I ever did was for you
Fm
And I would do it all again
G
I would do it all again
[Chorus]
Am C
'Til then I'll hold you like a hand grenade
Am C
You touch me like a razor blade
Am C G
I wish there was some other way right now
Am C
Like a house on fire we're up in flames
Am C
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
Am C G
To let you know I can't let go of you
Am C Am C Am C Am C Fm
Of you, of you, of you, of you
