[Verse 1]
Am
I'm wounded
F
I'm meeker than if I was strong
C
I'm falling in and out of love
But you see
I'm movin' so slow
Dm7 Am
And if I were to break in two
F
And these words that I wrote for you
C
Escape from me like embers
Dancing round a fire
That is slowly burning out
[Chorus]
Dm Am
I would tell you to hold on, to wait
F
I'd tell you to slow down, to stay
C
Just the simplest touch leaves a burn on me
The simplest touch leaves a burn on me
Dm Am
I'd tell you to hold on, to wait
F
I'd tell you to slow down, to stay
C
Just the simplest touch leaves a burn on me
Dm
The simplest touch leaves a burn on me
[Instrumental]
Am F Dm
(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)
[Verse 2]
Am
I'm losing
C Am
Can barely even hold my own
C F
You're blind and you won't hear no more
Am Dm
Oh this rage is insatiable
C Am
And if you were to up the heat
C Am
Throw the fire inside of me
C F
I'm like the sun that warms the ocean
The moment that the night falls
Dm Em
I will leave you cold and empty
[Chorus]
Am
Hold on, wait [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]
C F
Oh, won't you slow down and stay? [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]
F C
Just the simplest touch leaves a burn on me
C C Dm
The simplest touch leaves a burn on me
Am
Oh, don't walk away [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]
C F
Oh, won't you slow down and stay? [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]
C
Oh I can't get these burns off me
Dm
Oh no, I can't get these burns off me, oh
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Am C
Set alight my skin
C F
And I'll melt like ice
F Dm7 Dm7 Am
(Hold onto me, hold onto me)
Am C
I could drift within
C F
Waves of your embrace
F Dm Dm Am
(Hold onto me, hold onto me)
Am C
Oh, we've got no space between us
Dm F
It's just you and I in flames
F Dm
And we're burning on the insides
Dm Am
But outside we seem the same
Am F Dm7
There's no clarity
Em
When our worlds collide
Am Fmaj7 Dm7 Dm
(Hold onto me, hold onto me)
[Outro]
