A#m
Have you come here to save me?
G#
Have you come here to waste my time again?
A#m
Ask me too many questions
G#
Ask me too many questions I can't stand
A#m
They come out of nowhere
G#
Put my head through a window instead of talking
Fm
Have you come here to save me?
F#
Have you come here to waste my time again?

Chorus:
D#m           F#
You'll never learn
A#m           G#            Fm        F#
You'll never learn how much I want to burn
D#m        F# G#
I want to burn

Ever since I've been able
Ever since there've been weeds growing in my mind
Like a scent for the weekend
A descent into weakness defined
I'd stop the clock
But there's some things I can't control
Full moon stop porcelain against the wall
Against the wall

Chorus:
D#m            F#
You'll never learn
A#m           G#               Fm      F#
You'll never learn how much I want to burn
A#m       G#
I want to burn
D#m               F#
And you'll never know
A#m           G#             Fm      F#
You'll never know how much I want to go
A#m       G#
I want to go

F#                      F/A
I stare right into the dark
A#m                         G#
Thinking of ways to remind myself
F#                 F/A
I saw a current appear
A#m                        G#
I saw a current of fear inside you
F#                   F/A
I stare right into the dark
A#m                           G#
Thinking of ways to remind myself that
F#                 F/A
It's all a current up here
A#m                      G#
I saw a current of fear inside

A#m
That's the way I like it
I like it
I like holding you
And that's the way I like it
I like it
I like holding you
