I wanna steal your soul

And hide you in my treasure chest

Am           C      F
I don't know what to do
Am                  C      F
To do with your kiss on my neck
Am           C          F
I don't know what feels true
Am                     C       F
But this feels right so stay a sec

Yeah, you feel right so stay a sec

Chorus:
         Em              F
Let me crawl inside your veins
             Em                       F
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
              Dm
It's not like me to be so mean
            F
You're all I wanted
            Dm   F
Just let me hold you
         Am C F
Like a hostage

Am           C      F
Gold on your fingertips
Am          C         F
Fingertips against my cheek

Gold leaf across your lips
Am            C       F
Kiss me until I can't speak

Verse 4:
Am         C            F
Gold chain beneath your shirt
Am                     C       F
The shirt that you let me wear home
Am              C         F
Gold's fake and real love hurts
Am                     C  F
And nothing hurts when I'm alone
Am                      C     F
When you're with me and we're alone

I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
              Dm
It's not like me to be so mean
             F
You're all I wanted
            Dm   F
Just let me hold you
Dm   F
Hold you
         Am C F
Like a hostage
         Am C F
Like a hostage
