[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]One night you
got into [G]my head
With the [Am]cold bright fear
that stroke [G]me dead
And your [Am]body lay heavy in [G]our bed
With those [Am]blood stained
tears on [G]your chest
[Am]Our love is never what i[G]t was
Never [Am]bold enough to carry [G]us,
In the be[Am]ginning I wanted you [G]so much
[Am]Fire then dirt, [G]then dust

[Verse 2]
So [Am]love, would [G]you save her
Is she [F]everything you bet upon your [Am]life?
So love, did [G]you need her
Is it [F]all because you fell against [Am]the knife
And now, can you [G]hold her
Do [F]you see her in the shadow of the [G]knife
So [Am]love, have you [G]lost her,
Does it [F]turn you [G]up in[Am]side?

[Verse 3]
[Am]One day, I'll sleep and never [G]wake
And [Am]they outtake the color from my [G]face
[Am]This is all a pay for my mis[G]takes,
[Am]Old things wither [G]then drink

[Verse 4]
So [Am]love, would [G]you save her
Is she [F]everything you bet upon your [Am]life?
So love, did you [G]need her
Is it [F]all because you fell against the [Am]knife
And now, can you [G]hold her
Do [F]you see her in the shadow of the [G]knife
So [Am]love, have you [G]lost her,
Does it [F]turn you [G]up in[Am]side?

[Verse 5]
[Am]Will I [F]hold your [C]hand to[G]night
And [Am]how I'd [F]hold your [C]hand ton[G]ight
Did you [Am]work so hard to [F]keep her
Did you [C]try so hard des[G]pite?
Was it [Am]her cold heart that f[F]reed her?
Come on [G]home, song, tight

[Verse 6]
So [Am]love, would [G]you save her
Is she [F]everything you bet upon your [Am]life?
So love, did you [G]need her
Is it [F]all because you fell against [Am]the knife?
And now, can you [G]hold her
[F]Do you see her in the shadow of the [G]knife
So [Am]love, have you [G]lost her,
Does it [F]turn you [G]up in[Am]side?
Does it turn you [Am]up inside?
