[Intro]
Ebm  B  x2

[Verse 1]
        Ebm
I wanna hold you
               B
Like I hold my mother while she weeps
Ebm                       B
Whispering softly in your ear
              Ebm
And there are indentations
        B
In your tongue from clenching teeth
      Ab
Never unwrenched
                  B           Ebm
So I'll share the silence with you
B    Ebm     B
   Ooo


[Verse 2]
Ebm
I can feel those shackles
         B
That you gather at your feet
Ebm                         B
Sounding like chimes in the night
      Ebm
And I know those knots
               B
They swarm and clutch your insides tight
             Ab          B              Ebm
Twisting and curling and encircling yoouuu

B Ebm B

[Verse 3]
               Ebm
I know there's nothing I can say
   B
To close those wounds up tight
Ebm                            B
Nothing I can do to mend those scars
      Ebm
But I feel if I hold you close
B
Enough to share the weight
              Ab
You will find freedom
      B         Ebm
And a reason to change
