F C You say things you don't mean too damn convincingly Am G You take it back and then expect that it won't stick to me F C "Was just an argument," "No ounce of truth in it" Am G I wanna believe you, but you came off so articulate F C Am I've tried walkin' away in my head G F For a moment, it's peaceful, then scares me to death C G So I guess Chorus: F C Sometimes, tension brings us closer Am G Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you when it's over I get cold, but you get colder Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you when it's over You're not the things you say, you're not the things you do These are the lies I tell myself to stay with you Like sometimes, tension brings us closer I just wanna hold you when it's over You know I just wanna hold you when it's over You say love's push and pull Well, you're both the push and the pull And I'm hangin' on for dear life 'cause I'm scared to let you go The good that's left in us, it still feels good enough Set us on fire and I'll find a way to hold us up I've tried walkin' away in my head For a moment, it's peaceful, then scares me to death So I guess Chorus You know I just wanna hold you when it's over You know I just wanna hold you when it's over F C/E You know I would stick around in ways you wouldn't Am G You know I put up with things I really shouldn't You know most the weight of us is on my shoulders You know I just wanna hold you when it's over You know I'll forgive you just to keep it simple You know I will meet you so far past the middle You know no one's ever seen you any lower You know I just wanna hold you when it's over Chorus You know I just wanna hold you when it's over You know I just wanna hold you when it's over You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  E  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
