[G] [G]Weekend wreckers take the [D]streets, [Em]with abandon in their [B7]eyes [Am]But in our bedroom we’re bloodshot [D]and beat, [Am]and never so [Em]alive

[C]And I know what’s on your [G] [B7] [C]mind, God knows I put it [G] [B7] [C]there But if I took it [G] [B7] [C]back, well you’d be no[Cm]where, you’d be nowhere [G]again

[G]Now look at you all [D]torn up, [Em]I left you waiting to [B7]bleed [Am]I guess the truth works two [D]ways, [Am]maybe the truth’s not what we [Em]need

[C]And I know what’s on your [G] [B7] [C]mind, God knows I put it [G] [B7] [C]there But if I took it [G] [B7] [C]back, well you’d be no[Cm]where, you’d be nowhere [G]again

[G]But in my [B7]cold [Em]arms [C]you don’t [G]sleep, in my [B7]cold [Em]arms [C] Your fear [G]beats, in my [B7]cold [Em]arms, [C] [Cm]you [G]stay
