Line Without a Hook

Tom: Ab

C                                 
I don't really give a damn
                   G 
About the way you touch me
            Em
When we're alone
         C
You can hold my hand
    D
If no one's home
          G               Em
Do you like it when I'm away?
                C  
If I went and hurt my body, baby
      D
Would you love me the same?
            G
I can feel all my bones coming back
         Em
And I'm craving motion
     C                            D
Mama never really learned how to live by herself
       G
It's a curse
          Em
And it's growing
       C                  D
You're a pond and I'm an ocean
     G           Em
Oh, all my emotions
 C                    D             G
Feel like explosions when you are around
     Em           C                D
And I've found a way to kill the sound, oh

G                 Em               C     
Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
    D                G
I need you here to stay
             Em                   C
I broke all my bones that day I found you
  D            G
Crying at the lake
        Em                           C                   D
Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden?
      G                         Em 
Oh, and if I could take it all back
            C               D             G  Em  C
I swear that I would pull you from the tide

    D   
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
  G         Em
I said no, I said no
 C             D
Listen close, it's a no
     G                   Em
The wind is a-pounding on my back
     C                  D
And I found hope in a heart attack
 G                  Em
Oh, at last, it is past
        C                 D
Now I've got it, and you can't have it

G                 Em               C     
Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
    D                G
I need you here to stay
             Em                   C
I broke all my bones that day I found you
  D            G
Crying at the lake
        G          Em                 C                   D
Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden?
      G                         Em 
Oh, and if I could take it all back
            C               D            Am   G  Bm 
I swear that I would pull you from the tide

( Am  G  Bm )

 Am              G       Bm
Darling, when I'm fast asleep
        Am             G      Bm
I've seen this person watching me
         Am              G                Am              D
Saying: Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Tell me, is it worth it?
 G
Oh-oh

( Em  C  D  G )
( Em  C  D )

                  G                      Em
Because there is something, and there is nothing
         C              D
There is nothing in between
          G               Em          
And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer
  C          D        
Watching over me, he's singing
   G              Em         C         D
She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a boy
    D            G             Em         C          D             
He's singing she's a, she's a lady, and I am just a line without a

G                 Em               C     
Hook, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
    D                G
I need you here to stay
             Em                   C
I broke all my bones that day I found you
  D            G
Crying at the lake
        G          Em                 C                   D
Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden?
      G                         Em 
Oh, and if I could take it all back
            C               D            G  
I swear that I would pull you from the tide
