I don't really give a damn
                   G#
about the way you touch me
             Fm
When we're alone
         C#
You can hold my hand
   D#
If no one's home
        G#               Fm
Do you like it when I'm away?
                       C#
If I went and hurt my body, baby
                       D#
Would you love me the same?
                   G#
I can feel all my bones coming back
          Fm
And I'm craving motion
 C#
Mama never really learns how to
 D#
live by herself
        G#
It's a curse
           Fm
And it's growing
          C#               D#
You're a pond and I'm an ocean
    G#       Fm
Oh, all my emotions
 C#           D#                    G#
Feel like explosions when you are around
           Fm     C#               D#
And I've found a way to kill the sounds, oh

Chorus:
G#                 Fm
Oh, baby, I am a wreck
            C#
when I'm without you
   D#               G#
I need you here to stay
                Fm
I broke all my bones that day
    C#
I found you
  D#           G#
Crying at the lake
                    Fm
Was it something I said
             C#                 D#
to make you feel like you're a burden?
        G#                      Fm
Oh, and if I could take it all back
            C#        D#                G#  Fm  C#
I swear that I would pull you from the tide

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
I said no (I said no), I said no (I said no)
Listen close, it's a no
The wind is a-pounding on my back
And I've found hope in a heart attack
Oh, at last, it is past
Now I've got it, and you can't have it

Chorus:
Baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
I need you here to stay
I broke all my bones that day I found you
Crying at the lake
Was it something I said to make you
feel like you're a burden?
Oh, and if I could take it all back
I swear that I would pull you from the tide

  C#               D#
Darling, when I'm fast asleep
      C#                 D#
I've seen this person watching me
         C#             Fm
Saying, "Is it worth it? Is it worth it?
 C#              D#      G# Fm C# D#
Tell me, is it worth it?"
 G# Fm C# D#
Oh

                 G#
Guess there is something,
               Fm
and there is nothing
            C#         D#
There is nothing in between
           G#               Fm        C#
And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer
              D#
Watching over me, he's singing
  G#               Fm
"She's a, she's a lady,
    C#           D#
and I am just a boy"
                G#               Fm
He's singing, "She's a, she's a lady,
    C#           D#
and I am just a line without a-"

Chorus:
Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
I need you here to stay
Broke all my bones that day I found you
Crying at the lake
Oh, was it something I said to make you
feel like you're a burden?
Oh, and if I could take it all back
I swear that I would pull you from the tide
