Eyes like a car crash

I know I shouldn't look but I can't turn away.
Em D
Body like a whiplash,
C D
Salt my wounds but I can't heal the way
I feel about you.
Em D
I watch you like a hawk
C D
I watch you like I'm gonna tear you limb from limb
Em D
Will the hunger ever stop?
C D
Can we simply starve this sin?
Em D
That little kiss you stole
C
It held my heart and soul
D
And like a deer in the headlights I meet my fate
Em D
Don't try to fight the storm
C
You'll tumble overboard
D
Tides will bring me back to you
Em D C D
And on my deathbed, all I'll see is you
Em D
The life may leave my lungs

But my heart will stay with you
That little kiss you stole
It held my heart and soul
And like a ghost in the silence I disappear
Don't try to fight the storm
You'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you

The waves will pull us under

Tides will bring me back to you
The waves will pull us under
Tides will bring me back to you
The waves will pull us under

That little kiss you stole
It held my heart and soul
And like a ghost in the silence I disappear
Don't try to fight the storm
You'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
That little kiss you stole
It held my heart and soul
And like a deer in the headlights I meet my fate
Don't try to fight the storm
You'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
