How else can I say I am not your hide-away,

         Bb                 Bbm          F
Get your face out from the crook in my arm.

    C             Bb              F             A
And not only just I can be what's keeping you alive,

     Bb            Bbm                F
If I slip up, if I fall asleep you're gone. 

    Dm  C     Bb       F
And god knows I've tried,

    Dm   C          Bb
But I am god damned tired.

And I will build a fort around you, the bricks are drying in the sun,

          Bbm         F
Stay real still I'll soon be done. 

    C               Bb       F        A
But I'm not strong enough to hold you up,

I've got a hole inside my gut and it's tearing me apart.

          Bb          F            Bb          F
Yeah this hole inside my gut it is tearing me apart.

I am small the television's falling from the second floor, 

   Gm               Bb                     F
My sister's hand in mine as we watch it go.

Dm                                F 
Another scene with sirens in the front yard 

        Gm                Bb
For the neighbors to read by the lights of.
