Tuning: Half-Step Down


Intro: E (16x)
       E - C#m - A (6x)



E           C#m          A
  I catalog these steps now
E              C#m   A            
  decisive and intentioned
   E
precise and patterned 
   C#m     A    E    C#m A
specifically to yours
E                 A#m  A
  I'm talented at breathing
E            C#m  A
  especially exhaling
   E
so that my chest will 
C#m       A        E    C#m A
rise and fall with yours


E - C#m - A (4x)



E                    C#m      A
  I'm careful not to wake you
E               C#m    A
  fearing conversation
    E               C#m      A
It's better just to hold you
E                  C#m  A
  and keep you pacified
E                   C#m A
  I'm talented with reason
E                 C#m    A
  I cover all the angles
E            C#m     A   E  C#m A
I can fail before I EVER try

Chorus:
E        B/D#
  Try to understand there's an 
A               Am
old mistake that fools will make
E             C#m
  And I'm the king of them
        A                C
pushing everything that's good away
  E          C#m      A
So won't you hold me now? 
            F#m
(I will not bend I will not break)

  Won't you hold me now?

E                C#m       A
  I can bend and not break
   E
Or I can break and 
C#m      A      E   C#m A
take it with a smile
E           C#m     A
  I am so resilient 
E           C#m     A
  I recover quickly
E
I'll convince you 
C#m        A   E   C#m A
soon that i am fine

So won't you hold me now? 
            F#m
(I will not bend I will not break)
E           C#m      A
