Am       C   F
I wanna be alone
 Am                    C        F
Alone with you, does that make sense?
Am        C         F
I wanna steal your soul
     Am              C        F
And hide you in my treasure chest

I don't know what to do
To do with your kiss on my neck
I don't know what feels true
But this feels right, so stay a sec
Yeah, you feel right, so stay a sec

Chorus:
            E7                F
And let me crawl inside your veins
              E7                         F
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
              Dm
It's not like me to be so mean
              F
You're all I wanted
             Dm   F
Just let me hold you
        Am    C F Am C F
like a hostage

Gold on your fingertips
Fingertips against my cheek
Gold leaf across your lips
Kiss me until I can't speak

Gold chain beneath your shirt
The shirt that you let me wear home
Gold's fake and real love hurts
But nothing hurts when I'm alone
When you're with me and we're alone

Chorus:
            E7                F
And let me crawl inside your veins
              E7                         F
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
              Dm
It's not like me to be so mean
              F
You're all I wanted
             Dm   F
Just let me hold you
 Dm   F
Hold you
       Am     C F
Like a hostage
       Am     C F
Like a hostage
