[Intro]
E G Dm F
[Verse 1]
Em G Dm F
Your cheap drink tricks and cigarettes keep you locked inside a cage
Em G Dm F
Your mother fears you, your father can't hear you, you're money, a voice on a stage
Am G Dm F
I still ache from the night that you dragged me, kicking and screaming, out the door
Em G Dm F
But I won't let go, no, I left my baby teeth in your drawer
[Chorus]
Em G Dm F Am
If I can't hold you like a lover I won't hold you, hold you at all
G Dm F Am
The tide is turning on you, baby, and I feel nothing anymore
G Dm F Am
If we could stay this way forever would it ever be enough?
G Dm F Am
I wear your bruises on my shoulder now forever and evermore
Am
[Bridge]
Em G Dm F
Your lip got split, spill grenadine kisses, the codeine kids got you down
Am G Dm F
Picking fights with the devil you know, you've got a real smart mouth
Am G Dm F
Driving you home from the bar and you're touching my face but I don't make a sound
Am G Dm F
Lost your baby teeth in the back seat, said somebody knocked them out
[Chorus]
Em G Dm F Am
If I can't hold you like a lover I won't hold you, hold you at all
G Dm F Am
If I don't pull myself together this could be the end of it all
G Dm F Am
I hear your voice inside the tv telling me to follow you home
G Dm F Am
I taste your teardrops on my tongue at night and it still turns me on
[Verse 2]
G Dm F
There are things that we will never say, but we know, we know
Am G Dm F
Even baby teeth will hurt you when I'm biting, biting, biting down
[Chorus]
Em G Dm F Am
If I can't hold you like a lover I won't hold you, hold you at all
G Dm F Am
The tide is turning on you, baby, and I feel nothing anymore
G Dm F Am
We could have stayed this way forever but it would never be enough
G Am F Am
I wear your ache inside my heart, my dear, forever and evermore
