G
You are in my head
Am Em
When my heart's at war
Am G
And if I'm ever scared
Am G
I'll breathe the air
Am Em Am
In front of your door
G
And I will never knock
Am Em
That's as far as I'll go

It's only in my dreams

When I say what I mean

Yeah I'll get there

And I'm a stubborn one

I'll hide as best I can

Got this bright idea

If I show my fear
Am Em Am
I'll be less of a man
G
And I think too much
Am Em
But I don't feel enough

With a gun to my head

Then I might confess

Ooh my hands are tied
D C D G Am
Around you each night
G Em G Am
And you made me into what you want
G Em Am
And it may seem like I fled from you once
G Em G Am
And maybe you'll fall further from us
I won't run
[Verso 2]
G
Cause I'm here right now
Am Em
If you'd take the time
Am G
To let me stumble through
Am G
How I feel about you
Am Em Am
As I mess up my lines
Am G
And you'll hear me out
Am Em
Let's just say you will
Am G
Cause if I mouth these words
Am G
When I crash and burn
Am Em Em G
You'll take me still?
D C D G C G
Ooh my hands are tied
D C D G Am
Around you each night
D C D G C G
Ooh my hands are tied
