Dm          Am      A#             F
Your hands found a dark switch in me
That I, that I didn't know existed
The lost tribes in the back of my brain
Making fires from what they've stacked for years in secret

Don't give me more than I can handle
Don't give me more than I can take
Don't give me more than I can handle
Oh, hell, just give me all you've got in every way

Chorus:
Dm                  Am
This is not like it was before
         A#        F C
Baby I'm not afraid
Dm                            Am
Some things fall when they're meant to fall
                A#        F C
And you can see everything

Who knew when you brought me your storm
Who knew, who knew that I would like it
The small town of my mind as it was
Now a city, wreaking havoc, stretching endless

Don't give me more than I can handle
Don't give me more than I can take
Don't give me more than I can handle
Oh, hell, just give me all you've got in every way

Chorus - x4
