Capo 4, standard tuning.

   G                         C                 
So cold is the wind that blows your hair. 
   
So warm is your touch upon my skin. 
   G                   C                   
How tired am I of being scared, 

but how awake am I now that I know you're here. 
                   G
'Cause I'd rather fight with you than laugh with another. 
           Em
I'd rather freeze in your arms than be warm under covers. 
C                                                      D 
 I'd let you hit me before I ever let you hit the floor. 
G
I'd rather choke than to breath in your absence. 
               Em
I'd rather feel your wrath than feel another's passion. 
              C                                                     D
I'd rather die on the day that I give you a kiss than spend the rest of my 

life knowing I never did 
         G                                             Em
So just hold me and tell me that I'm everything you need. 
                                 C                                      D
Tell me that, that lonely little heart of yours that I've been dying for, 
                G
ain't out of reach. 
G
So if you're looking for some proof 
      
that there's a heart inside of me 
                Em
 than lace your fingers between mine and you will see it start to leak. 
         C
And I know you're not a crutch but I can hold you when I stand 
            D
'cause I am living for touch but I would die to be your man. 
       G
Let me look into your eyes 

like I am searching for your soul. 
        Em
Wrap my arms around your waist 

like it is dying from the cold. 
       C
Run my fingers through your hair 

like they are water from the drain. 
         D
Press my lips against your back 

like they could take away it's pain. 
       G
And to give you everything, 

there is nothing I wont do. 
        Em
Dump my heart into a blender 

just to pour it out to you. 
      C
And I know you're feeling tired. 

Just let me hold you for a bit. 
        D(strum once)                                             
Dive my face between your thighs until I cannot feel my lips. ohh

G Em C D G

G                                  C
I know that you think I'm kind of odd. 
            G
But if your love was a mountain, 
                                 C
I swear that I'd climb to the top. 
        G                                                   C
I Would tell you "you're lovely and everything ill ever need, 
       G                                                     C      G
and id give you my all if you'd just come and stand next to me."
