Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Intro: Em G Am C Verse 1: Em G Am C Your cheap drink tricks and cigarettes keep you locked inside a cage Em G Am C Your mother fears you, your father can't hear you, you're money, a voice on a stage G G Am C I still ache from the night that you dragged me, kicking and screaming, out the door Em G Am C But I won't let go, no, I left my baby teeth in your drawer
Chorus: Em G Am C Em If I can't hold you like a lover I won't hold you, hold you at all G Am C Em The tide is turning on you, baby, and I feel nothing anymore G Am C Em If we could stay this way forever would it ever be enough? G Am C Em I wear your bruises on my shoulder now forever and evermore Em Bridge: Em D A Am Your lip got split, spill grenadine kisses, the codeine kids got you down Em D A Am Picking fights with the devil you know, you've got a real smart mouth Em D A Am Driving you home from the bar and you're touching my face but I don't make a sound Em D A Am Lost your baby teeth in the back seat, said somebody knocked them out Chorus: Em G Am C Em If I can't hold you like a lover I won't hold you, hold you at all G Am C Em If I don't pull myself together this could be the end of it all G Am C Em I hear your voice inside the tv telling me to follow you home G Am C Em I taste your teardrops on my tongue at night and it still turns me on Verse 2: G Am C There are things that we will never say, but we know, we know Em G Am C Even baby teeth will hurt you when I'm biting, biting, biting down Chorus: Em G Am C Em If I can't hold you like a lover I won't hold you, hold you at all G Am C Em The tide is turning on you, baby, and I feel nothing anymore G Am C Em We could have stayed this way forever but it would never be enough G Am C Em I wear your ache inside my heart, my dear, forever and evermore
