Tuning: Half-step down

Key: Ebm

🎸 Intro:

Em | Em |


🎸 Verse 1:
Em
    I'll shut it off

    Just let it go
                                   C
    I'll drown in it when it overflows
             Am                   Em
    I get so low and lose all control

🎸 Verse 2:
Em
    So hold me close

    I overthink
                                C
    My mind takes me over the brink
               Am                  Em
    We built a home, don't let it sink


🎸 Chorus:
     C       Am
    Hold me close
             Em
    When my voice gets shaky
        G
    Be patient with me
     C        Am
    Feelings flow
              Em
    You bring me to safety
     G
    Try to save me
C                  Am
    These thoughts fill my mind
      Em          G
    Bring me down one more time
    C      Am          Em
    In my head and it drives me crazy
         G
    I'm hostage, baby


🎸 Instrumental:
Em |


🎸 Verse 3:
Em
    Silence my thoughts

    You reassure
                                     C
    Start to believe what I've been told
                Am                Em
    You keep me warm, my mind was cold


🎸 Bridge:
Em
    When you're next to me

    And i take your hand

    The fears let me go
C                      Am                   Em
    When my mind feels lost and you shelter me

    Oh, it sets me free


🎸 Chorus:
     C       Am
    Hold me close
             Em
    When my voice gets shaky
        G
    Be patient with me
     C        Am
    Feelings flow
              Em
    You bring me to safety
     G
    Try to save me
C                  Am
    These thoughts fill my mind
      Em          G
    Bring me down one more time
    C      Am          Em
    In my head and it drives me crazy
         G
    I'm hostage, baby
