🎸 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
