[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm F
I'm bound up and broken,
C
caught out in the open,
Gm
tape over my mouth,
Dm
with so much left unsaid.
F
Like gathering thunder,
C
we spoke over each other,
Gm A#
now strangers tied to opposite sides of the bed.
[Pre-Chorus]
C
You say that I'm careless,
Gm
unkind and defensive,
A#
when all I want is someone there to hold me close.
C
I don't mean to be heartless,
Gm
I'm trying my hardest
to think before I speak, but I'm voiceless
[Chorus]
Dm F
I'll bide my time,
C
watch the hurricane blow by
Gm
and the clouds run dry.
Dm F
I'll bite my tongue,
C
and hold on 'til my hands go numb
Gm
or the quiet comes.
[Interlude]
Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm F
Soaked through to my skin
C
but I don't feel any different.
Gm
I'm a shivering mess
Dm
of doubt and recklessness.
F
I know it's my fault
C
I'm stuck out here in the cold
Gm
but it's hard letting go
A#
of what I wish you'd said
[Interlude]
C
cause you told me I'm careless,
Gm
unkind and defensive,
when all I want is someone there to hold me close.
[Chorus]
Dm F
I'll bide my time,
C
watch the hurricane blow by
Gm
and the clouds run dry.
Dm F
I'll bite my tongue,
C
and hold on 'til my hands go numb
Gm
or the quiet comes.
[Bridge]
A# Dm
Don't tell me I'm broken,
F
(as I'm blowing out to sea)
C
Don't leave me high and dry.
A#
(It's swirling over me,)
Dm
as I spin in slow motion
F
(a tide of chattering teeth.)
C
Unravel and unwind.
[Calm part]
Dm A#
Dm A#
White-knuckled, nails torn from grasping the boards
Dm A#
as the storm rages inside of me.
Dm A#
Opened my mouth, tried to force something out,
Dm A#
but I'm just too exhausted to speak.
[Interlude]
Dm
[Chorus]
Dm F
I'll bide my time,
C
watch the hurricane blow by
Gm
and the clouds run dry.
Dm F
I'll bite my tongue,
C
and hold on 'til my hands go numb
Gm
or the quiet comes.
[Chorus]
Dm F
I'll bide my time,
C
watch the hurricane blow by
Gm
and the clouds run dry.
Dm F
I'll bite my tongue,
C
and hold on 'til my hands go numb
Gm
or the quiet comes.
