   C                             F                
So cold is the wind it blows your hair. 
   C                          F
So warm is your touch upon my skin. 
   C                    F                  
How tired am I of being scared, 
         C                                    F
but how awake am I now that I know you're here. 


                   C
'Cause I'd rather fight with you than laugh with another. 
           Am
I'd rather freeze in your arms than be warm under covers. 
F                                                      G 
 I'd let you hit me before I ever let you hit the floor. 
C
I'd rather choke than to breath in your absence. 
               Am
I'd rather feel your wrath than feel anothers passion. 
              F                                                     G
I'd rather die on the day that I give you a kiss than spend the rest of my 

life knowing I never did 


         C                                             Am
So just hold me and tell me that I'm everything you need. 
                                 F                                      G
Tell me that, that lonely little heart of yours that I've been dying for, 
                C
ain't out of reach. 


C
So if you're looking for some proof 
      
that there's a heart inside of me 
                Am
 than lace your fingers between mine and you will see it start to leak. 
         F
And I know you're not a crutch but I can hold you when I stand 
            G
'cause I am living for touch but I would die to be your man. 


       C
Let me look into your eyes 

like I am searching for your soul. 
        Am
Wrap my arms around your waist 

like it is dying from the cold. 
       F
Run my fingers through your hair 

like they are water from the drain. 
         G
Press my lips against your back 

like they could take away it's pain. 
       C
And to give you everything, 

there is nothing I wont do. 
        Am
Dump my heart into a blender 

just to pour it out to you. 
      F
And I know you're feeling tired. 

Just let me hold you for a bit. 
        G(strum once)                                             
Dive my face between your thighs until I cannot feel my lips. ohh

C                                  F
I know that you think I'm kind of odd. 
            C
But if your love was a mountain, 
                                 F
I swear that I'd climb to the top. 
        C                                                   F
I Would tell you "you're lovely and everything ill ever need, 
       C                                                     F      C
and id give you my all if you'd just come and stand next to me."
