Intro: Em C Am (2x)
Verse:
Em C
I heard the words come out of your mouth again
Am
So quietly you said
Em C
I need someone to hold my heart again
Am
Like it felt when I was just a kid
Em C
Will you take me far away
Am
From this fear that pulls me near?
Em
Will you take it out?
C Am
What's inside of my mind, what's screaming out
Chorus:
Em
Inside your hand it holds the question to it all
C Am
You start to pull the trigger, you start to pull the trigger
Em
Inside your mind it goes where no one really knows
C Am
You start to pull the trigger, you start to pull the trigger
Em C Am

Em C
I saw the tears roll down from your eyes again
Am
So softly they fell
Em C
I reached to you to wipe them off your chin
Am
But you stopped me and said
Em
Please just leave me be
C Am
I feel as though no one knows what goes on inside of me
Em C
Then I turned to see it was too late to give you love
Am
But it was too late to give you up
Chorus:
Em
Inside your hand it holds the question to it all

You start to pull the trigger, you start to pull the trigger

Inside your mind it goes where no one really knows
C Am
You start to pull the trigger, you start to pull the trigger

And I saw how it all went down

You picked it up and threw it out

And I saw how it all went down

Inside your hand it holds the question to it all

I start to pull the trigger, I start to pull the trigger
