Pulling Teeth:

Intro: B5 , B5 , B5 , B5 x2

B5
We just fight to apologize
B5
We break up and then change our minds
          E5
But it's alright
                 B5
I don't mind at all
B5
I don't mind at all

B5
Disagree then we compromise

Tooth and nail over truth and lies
           E5
But it's alright
                B5
I don't mind at all
B5
I don't mind at all

E5    F#5    B5
It's no sin to shed your thick skin
E5    F#5
Throw it in the bin
B5
Show me who you really are
E5       F#5
I'll do the same
B5
To hell with the games
E5       F#5                   B5
Why don't we both just open up
          F#5  G#minor 
We make it so hard
             E5           B5
When it's so simple underneath
            F#5    G#minor
If we just stroll on
              E5                  B5    
The ground is right beneath our feet
B5
It's taken
F#5        G#minor   E5  
It's taken so long
B5                          F#5
Oh it's been like pulling teeth
G#minor
I got it wrong
                   E5
Instead of pushing back
      B5  
I'll pull you into me


The rest is basically the same except for the bridge*

Spoken question, a screamed reply
Compliment then we criticize
But it's alright
I don't mind at all
I don't mind at all

It's no sin to shed your thick skin
Throw it in the bin
Show me who you really are
I'll do the same
To hell with the games
Why don't we both just open up

We make it so hard
When it's so simple underneath
If we just stroll on
The ground is right beneath our feet
It's taken
It's taken so long
Oh it's been like pulling teeth
I got it wrong
Instead of pushing back
I'll pull you into me


E5
*Running out of hope
G#minor
Running out of time
C#minor
Don't you dare let go
B5
When it gets a little hard

E5
Looks like no one's home
G#minor
See you hiding in the dark
C#minor
'Cuz your heart is glowing

We make it so hard
When it's so simple underneath
If we just stroll on
The ground is right beneath our feet
It's taken
It's taken so long
Oh it's been like pulling teeth
I got it wrong
Instead of pushing back
I'll pull you into me

So long
It's taken
It's taken so long
Oh it's been like pulling teeth
I got it wrong
Instead of pushing back
I'll pull you into me

I'll pull you into me
I'll pull you into me
I'll pull you into me
