Intro: G
G Gmaj7
When I see you cryin'
C
If your tears run out
G
I will lasso you with thunderclouds
When you're tired of tryin'
I won't stay away
I don't care what other people say
D D7
When there's nothing left to do
C G
I will pull you close and wrap my arms around you
G Am7
No I won't let you slip
C G
I'll be your tourniquet
No I won't ever quit
I'll be your tourniquet
When you've been forgotten
Wayward, left for lost,
Given up, knocked down and written off
When you feel like dyin'
Think you won't be missed
I will be there in an ambulance
When there's nothing left to do
I will pull you close and wrap my arms around you
No I won't let you slip
I'll be your tourniquet
No I won't ever quit
I'll be your tourniquet
D C x4
No I won't let you slip
I'll be your tourniquet
No I won't ever quit
I'll be your tourniquet
