Am 
Have you come here to save me?

Have you come here to waste my time again?

Ask me too many questions

Ask me too many questions I can't stand

They come out of nowhere

Put my head through a window instead of talking

Have you come here to waste my time again?

I want to burn 

verse 2 
Am 
Ever since I've been able 
G 
Ever since there've been weeds growing in my mind 
Am 
Like a scent for the weekend 
G 
A descent into weakness defined 
Am 
I'd stop the clock - but there's some things I can't control 
G                                     Em 
Full moon stop porcelain against the wall 
F                 
'gainst the wall 

Dm            F

I want to burn 
Dm               F 
And you'll never know 
Am            G              Em       F 
You'll never know how much I want to go 
Am        G 
I want to go 

Bridge 
F                    G#5 
I stare right into the dark 
Am                    Am      G 
Thinking of ways to remind myself 
F               G#5 
I saw a current appear  
Am                  Am    G 
I saw a current of fear inside you 
F                   G#5 
I stare right into the dark

Thinking of ways to remind myself that  
F                  G#5 
It's all a current up here 
Am                 Am     G 
I saw a current of fear inside

That's the way I like it

And that's the way I like it 
N.C. 
I like it 
N.C. 
I like holding you
