(D)Back of the room,
(A)look ing at you,
(Em)count ing the steps
be tween us.
(D)Hun dred and five
lit tle blades in a line
from your skin to mine,
and I feel it.
(D)Eyes are not bound,
but I can’t look up now;
don’t wan na (Em)give it a way,
my sec ret.
In an oth er life, my teeth and tongue
con speak a loud what un til now I’ve on ly sung.
’Cause I would die to make you mine.
Bleed me dry each and ev ’ry time.
I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind it; I would come back a thou sand times.
You can make me wait for ev er,
push me a way and tell me, “nev er.” I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind it; I would come back a thou sand times,
eh, eh, eh.
Hey, ey, ey.
(D)Kiss me to night
like a good friend might.
I’ll do the same,
won’t mean it; ’cause (D)love is a cage;
these words on a page
(Em)car ry the pain,
but don’t free it.
I would come back a thou sand times.
(Fmaj7)Gon na, gon na let it go, let it go, cov er my (G)mouth, don’t let a sin gle word slip out.
(Am)Would n’t wan na tell you no, tell you no, noth ing could be (C6)worse than the risk of los ing what I don’t have (Fmaj7)now.
I’m weak er by the min ute, though.
Is it so (G)bad if I wan na cry out?
And I would die to make you mine.
Bleed me dry al most ev ’ry (Bm7)time, but I don’t mind, no I don’t mind it; I would come back a thou sand times.
Make me wait for ev er, push me a way,
tell me, “nev er,” but I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind it; I would come back a thou sand times.
I would come back a thou sand times.
I would come back a thou sand times.
