Lyrics

(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 need tongue

con speak a loud what un til now I’ve on ly lease 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.
