♫ Verse 1:

Am                            F
You say things you don't mean too damn convincingly
C                         G
You take it back and then expect that it won't stick to me
Am                      F
"Was just an argument," "No ounce of truth in it"
C                            G
I wanna believe you, but you came off so articulate



♫ Pre-Chorus:
F          C                  Am
I've tried walkin' away in my head
      G                           F                 C
For a moment, it's peaceful, then scares me to death
     G
So I guess

♫ Chorus:
          F                 C
Sometimes tension brings us closer
             Am                              G
Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you when it's over
      F                 C
I get cold, but you get colder
             Am                              G
Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you when it's over
       F                              C
You're not the things you say, you're not the things you do
              G                               Am
These are the lies I tell myself to stay with you
                F                 G
Like sometimes, tension brings us closer
                                F    C

         Am                              G
You know I just wanna hold you when it's over


♫ Verse 2:
Am
You say love's push and pull
F
Well you're both the push and the pull
C                                 G
And I'm hangin' on for dear life 'cause I'm scared to let you go
Am                          F
The good that's left in us, it still feels good enough
C                       G
Set us on fire and I'll find a way to hold us up


♫ Pre-Chorus:
F          C                  Am
I've tried walkin' away in my head
      G                           F                   C
For a moment, it's peaceful, then scares me to death
     G
So I guess

You know I put up with things I really shouldn't
         F                              C
You know most the weight of us is on my shoulders
