C                             Em        G        D 
I'm the only one that sticks around 
When they call your name out of a crowd 
And you say it don't hurt when I'm going alone 
And you know it don't hurt but I keep it strong 
So I don't try to go 
I just won't and you know 

Em            G                D   
The need to know it takes you over 
          C 
Takes you over 
The need to grow it take you under 
Take you under 
It bares the keeping of resistance 
To the listen again and again 
It takes you over again and again 
It takes you over 

C                             Em        G        D 
I'm the only one that makes you stop 
And I know the plane is going down 
When you say you don't see the red in my eyes 
Do you really want to bring the fire outside 
I don't want you to go 
Lose my eyes I'll never show 

Em            G                D  
The need to know it takes you over 
           C 
Takes you over 
The need to grow it take you under 
Take you under 
It bares the keeping of no resistance 
To the listen again and again 
It takes you over again and again 
It takes you over 
Oh, oh, oh
