Intro 
Emaj7  C#m E Emaj7 

 
Emaj7                                   G#m 
  Sprinklers are on as they are late at night 
                                       Emaj7 
Signaling dawn, though I can't see the light yet 
                                        B 
Nothin' is wrong, but the sleep I can't find 
                         F#m                 Emaj7 
And the fact that you're here, if only in my mind 
                                                 Em 
My heart's keeping time, which means every day's long 
             E             G#m          Emaj7 
No burden of mine, what is gone is gone 
                                     Emaj7 
I say I've let go, proud of a failed grip 
                                            Emaj7 
Nothin' free 'bout the fall, but I've landed it 
G#m                                          Emaj7 
  Nothin' free 'bout the fall, but I've landed it 

Emaj7  B  F# F#m 
 

 
Emaj7                                         G#m 
  And I wish I could be just a little more profound 
                                                 Emaj7 
Use some metaphor like, "I'll be the fox to your hound" 
                                            B 
Because I'd face th risk of you huntin' me down 
                      F#             F#m       Emaj7 
If it meant I had the chance just to hav you around 
                 G#m                   Emaj7 
I'll stop runnin', I've stopped runnin' 
                                           B 
Instead, I just say it's not a want it's a need 
               F#/Bb                        E 
As long as I'm held, I don't care if it's by teeth 
 

 
E 
(You can hold me between) 
                     G#m 
(Do you think I will bleed?) 
                       F# 
(Please be gentle with me) 
         F# 
(Hold me by your teeth) 
                       E 
I don't care if it's by teeth
