Capo 2nd fret
 
[Intro]
Em7 G D A
 
[Verse 1]
Em7 G
I feel the weight of every brick you're laying down
D A
You're locking doors and boarding windows
Em7 G
You're trying to shut me out again in self defense
D A
'Cause you're haunted by the echoes
Em7
Of all the pain from your past
G
With every love that didn't last
D A
Every time we get this close, I feel you pull back
 
[Chorus]
Em7 G
So fire another arrow
D
I'm not gonna let go
A
I'll take you as you are
Em7
I'll take you as you are
G
I wanna see your shadows
D
The colors you don't let show
A
I'll take you as you are
Em7 G D A
I'll take you as you are
 
[Verse 2]
Em7 G
You can trace it back to when you were a kid
D A
Took a lot for you to say that
Em7 G
If you're not ready, you don't have to let me in
D A
I'll still be here after the storm's passed
 
[Chorus]
Em7 G
So fire another arrow
D
I'm not gonna let go
A
I'll take you as you are
Em7
I'll take you as you are
G
I wanna see your shadows
D
The colors you don't let show
A
I'll take you as you are
Em7
I'll take you as you are
G
Fire another arrow
D
I'm not gonna let go
A
I'll take you as you are
Em7
I'll take you as you are
G
I wanna see your shadows
D
The colors you don't let show
A
I'll take you as you are
Em7
I'll take you as you are
 
[Bridge]
Em7
Of all the pain from your past
G
With every love that didn't last
D A
Every time we get this close, I feel you pulling back
Em7
Every twist and every turn
G
I'm a bridge you'll never burn
D
I'm not gonna run
A Em7
Even when it hurts
 
[Chorus]
G
So fire another arrow
D
I'm not gonna let go
A
I'll take you as you are
Em7
I'll take you as you are
G
I wanna see your shadows
D
The colors you don't let show
Asus4

I'll take you as you are
