[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
