Intro:

F Bb F Bb F C

Verse 1:
F                                Bb F
If I could be your place to hide
                                 Bb F
I'd tell you the sweetest lies

Knowing we won't get out alive
C
I'd tell you that we'll be okay
F                               Bb F
If I could be your mercy seat
                                     Bb F
Where your secrets come to sleep and

Not the reason that you weep

C
I wouldn't be alone

Chorus:
Bb
With my heart in my throat
Bb-
And my stomach on the floor
F
I'm beaten and I'm broken
C
But I'm coming back for more

      Bb
And I miss you like an eagle
Bb-
With a broken wing
F
Misses the skies above
               C
Where he would watch over these things

F Bb F Bb F C

Verse 2:

F                               Bb F
If I could be up there with you
                            Bb F
I would only tell the truth

And if it hurts like pulling a tooth
        C
Then it only hurts one time
F                               Bb F
I'd protect you from their lies
                              Bb F
But the ones i tell would fly

Circling up above our heads
C
To feast on a love that's dead

Chorus:
Bb
Your body close to mine
Bb-
And my heart in your hand
F
If we're gonna die together
                   C
Let's do it to the rhythm of the band
Bb
And i'll dance to your beating heart
Bb-
And you'll dance on my grave
             F
Just promise that you'll break my neck
         C
When you know I can't be saved
               F
From all these things

F Bb F Bb F Bb C

Refrain:
          C
All these things
        Bb            F
Keep me wide awake at night
         C
All these things
        Bb             F
Used to keep my tunnel bright
              C
Now all these things
        Bb                Bb-
Make me scared of getting old
       F
Cause you're no longer here
        C
And now all I have to hold
              F
Are all these things

F Bb F Bb F C
