[Verse 1]
A G
What I know is that I’m good
D A
At getting on then getting right back off the hook
A G
Making plans for someone else
D A
But every book I’ve ever held re-writes itself
[Pre-Chorus]
C Bm A
I get worn out on my favorite cy---cle
C Bm G
Where I do something dumb and try to survive it
[Chorus]
A
When I try to say the things I can’t
G
It comes out like an avalanche
D A
How else do I prove that I adore you
A
Something about my savage heart
G
That wants to tear your world apart
D A
And stitch it all right back together for you
[Instrumental]
G | D | A | A |

What you do just for me
D A
Is rake yourself across the coals that I can’t see

You never ask for me to prove

You just know I do the very same for you
[Pre-Chorus]
C Bm A
I get spit out facing problems side---ways
C Bm G
And I dig my fingers into the good things
[Chorus]

When I try to say the things I can’t

It comes out like an avalanche

Got plans for you

Used to worry I was a goner
G A
Wanted just what I wanted
G A
Scraping down at the bottom
G
Thought I’d never dig out
[Chorus]

When I try to say the things I can’t
G
It comes out like an avalanche

How else do I prove that I adore you

Something about my savage heart

That wants to tear your world apart
D A
And stitch it all right back together for you

For you
