Front Porch Step - Private Fears in Public Places

                B                         E
So cold is the wind that blows your hair.
   B                         E
So warm is your touch upon my skin.
   B                   E
How tired  of being scared,
        B                                E
but how awake  now that I know you're here?
                   B
'Cause I'd rather fight with you than laugh with another.
           G#m
I'd rather freeze in your arms than be warm under covers.
E                                                      F#
I'd let you hit me before I'd ever let you hit the floor.
             B
I'd rather choke than to breath in your absence.
               G#m
I'd rather feel your wrath than feel another's passion.
              E                                                     F#
I'd rather die on the day that I give you a kiss than spend the rest of my
 
life knowing I never did
         B                                             G#m
So just hold me and tell me that I'm everything you need.
                                 E                                      F#
Tell me that, that lonely little heart of yours that I've been dying for,
                B
ain't out of reach.
B
So if you're looking for some proof
 
that there's a heart inside of me
                G#m
then lace your fingers between mine and you will see it start to leak.
         E
And I know you're not a crutch but I can hold you when I stand
            F#
'cause I Am living for your touch, but I would die to be your man.
       B
Let me look into your eyes
 
like I Am searching for your soul.
        G#m
Wrap my arms around your waist
 
like it is dying from the cold.
       E
Run my fingers through your hair
 
like they are water from the drain.
         F#
Press my lips against your back
 
like they could take away its pain.
       B
And to give you everything,
 
there is nothing I wont do.
        G#m
Dump my heart into a blender
 
just to pour it out to you.
      E
And I know you're feeling tired.
 
Just let me hold you for a bit.
        F#
Dive my face between your thighs until I cannot feel my lips. ohh
 
B G#m E F# B
 
B                                  E
I know that you think I'm kind of odd.
            B
But if your love was a mountain,
                                 E
I swear that I'd climb to the top.
        B                                                   E
I Would tell you "you're lovely and everything I'll ever need,
       B                                                       E     B
and I'd give you my all if you'd just come and stand next to me."
