Verse 1:
G5                                                 *
Please baby can't you see, my mind's a burnin' hell.
G5                                                                     **
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin' my heart apart as well.
G5                                                  *
Tonight you told me, that you ache for something new
G5                                                                       **
And some other woman is lookin' like something that might be good for you


Chorus:
Am                            D              Dsus4 D
 Go on and hold her 'till the screaming is gone
Am                          D                      Dsus4 D
 Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
G                             Fmaj7                    Em
 But I'm the only one, who'll walk across the fire for you
G                             Fmaj7                  Em
 And I'm the only one, who'll drown in my desire for you
     Am                                C
It's only fear that makes you run, the demons that you're hiding from
     Fmaj7                 C                  G5
When all your promises are gone. I'm the only one...


Verse 2:
G5                                              *
Please baby can't you see, I'm trying to explain.
G5                                                                         **
I've been here before and I'm locking the door and I'm not going back again.
G5                                              *
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away.
G5                                                                      **
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow that holds you down today.


Chorus:

 Go on and hold her 'till the screaming is gone
Am                          D                      Dsus4 D
 Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
G                              Fmaj7                    Em

G                              Fmaj7                  Em
 And, I'm the only one, who'll drown in my desire for you
     Am                                C
It's only fear that makes you run, the demons that you're hiding from.

When all your promises are gone, I'm the only one...
