[Verse]
C Gm
I run outside before you, making
Eb Gm
holes for you to walk through like a
C Gm Eb
child following footprints in the snow
C Gm Eb
You are my foundation, and beside you
Gm C
I'm a mountain, I am fortified,
Gm Eb
and I can only grow
Gm
And that's not all
C Gm
Haven't you, a man of science, ever
Eb
wondered why I try so hard to
Gm
make you feel so secure?
C Gm
Haven't you , with all your cleverness,
Eb
devised the reason why I missed no
Gm
hit and dodged no bullet, can't you
F
see why I go through it?
[Chorus]
F Gm Eb
I want to be your human shield
Gm F
Be your cover in the field
Gm Eb
Be your strength when you have none
Gm Fm
Be your comfort when you are done
Gm Eb
Be the walls you live inside
Gm Bb
Be the hole where you can hide
Gm Eb
Be the safe in which you're sealed
Gm C
I want to be your human shield

C Gm Eb
Once I was withdrawn, but that loner
Gm C
now is gone. Oh, how'd I stay so long
Gm Eb Gm
in such a place without you?
C Gm Eb
Once I was so strong but now to be
Gm
alone feels wrong when I am
C Gm Eb Gm
invincible around you
C Gm
Haven't you, a man of science, ever
Eb
wondered why I try so hard to make
Gm
you feel so secure?
C Gm
Haven't you, with all your cleverness, devised
Eb
the reason why I missed no
Gm
hit and held no rancor?
C Gm
Haven't you felt so at ease while safe
Eb
inside my company? See I am at my
Gm
best as your bulletproof vest
C
I am your residence, your willing
Gm
shade, the room in which your bed is
Eb
made, your host, your home, your
Gm
hive, your cave; oh can't you see how
brave you make me?
[Chorus]

I want to be your human shield

Be the hole where you can hide
