Capo 6
Intro: Em G Am C
Verse
Em G Am C
You’ve spent a lifetime locked in the same mindset
Em G Am C
You break the contract, and smile away your debt
Em G Am C
I play for closure, through the fear and the thrill of the fight
Em G Am
Move a little bit closer, ‘cause you’re in for a jagged night
C
Hold tight
Pre-Chorus
Em
I close my eyes; a toxic calling
G
Just let it resonate we call it suffering
Am
Fear constricts my hand still I won’t sign the line
C
(We know just who to trust this time)
[Refrão]C Em G
I want you to give me what I need
Am
Lay waste to your beliefs, rebuild yourself for me
C Em G Am
I want you to come alive again
Em
To come alive again
Em G Am C
Verse
Em G Am C
I feign obsession, and abbreviate my fuse
Em G Am
You're my possession, until I'm done with you
C Em
and I see it shining through, wear my promise as a bruise
Pre-Chorus
Em
I close my eyes; a toxic calling
G
Just let it resonate, we call it suffering
Am
Trying to forget, the things I could have said
C
Each word a rusted arrowhead, we salutate and drink from lead
[Refrão]C Em G
I want you to give me what I need
Am
Lay waste to your beliefs, rebuild yourself for me
C Em G
I want you to feel as I feel
Am
Repairing who you are, becoming my ideal
C Em G
I want you; submit yourself to me
Am
Your body and your mind give it willingly
C Em G Am
I want you to come alive again
To come alive again
Em G Am C
(I want you)
[Refrão]C Em G
I want you to give me what I need
Am
Lay waste to your beliefs, rebuild yourself for me
C Em G
I want you to feel as I feel
Am
Repairing who you are, becoming my ideal
C Em G
I want you; submit yourself to me
Am
Your body and your mind give it willingly
C Em G Am
I want you to come alive again
To come alive again
Em G Am C
Just sign the contract
Em G Am C
(Just sign the contract)
