Intro: Db5 Verse 1: Dbm The ink on the paper makes me nervous A I nearly lose my vision Dbm A And then my breath, and my pulse and my mind quickens Gbm Head below my knees, Dbm A I come alive with every stroke of every letter Dbm Gbm Dbm In every line you write keeps me awake thinking back oh... A Dbm My first sight of you was my first heart attack Chorus: A E Every letter make me lose my reason Gbm A Dbm Every word is like your kindest touch A E And if I told you how much I need you Gbm A Dbm Would you give me yourself or turn and run A E Gbm You light up desire just by describing it A Dbm I read to myself until I go blind A E Gbm Your words fall around me all through the night A Dbm I can't resist and I don't want to fight Bridge: Dbm Will you be held? E Will you be touched? B By my hand through this paper Gbm Dbm Is this all too much? Dbm Will we be ravaged? E Will we be true? B To somebody perfect Gbm Dbm Somebody like you? Verse 2: Gbm I'm tired of yearning A I'm tired of learning Gbm A I need to drink you, my heart has been burning Gbm A Ever since I saw you, backwards through the glass Gbm Of a thin window pain Dbm Like a thin see through mask E These words are the truth A Just let them sink in Gbm Through your thin fingered gloves A Dbm To your hand, to your skin Dbm A Like ribbon on wrists, let them hold you and twist Gbm A Dbm Let them touch you all over until you can't resist Chorus: A E Every letter make me lose my reason Gbm A Dbm Every word is like your kindest touch A E And if I told you how much I need you Gbm A Dbm Would you give me yourself or turn and run Gbm A Dbm Would you give me yourself or turn and run A E Gbm You light up desire just by describing it A Dbm I read to myself until I go blind A E Gbm Your words fall around me all through the night A Dbm I can't resist and I don't want to fight Outro: A E Dim the lights give me everything I want Gbm A Dbm Just talk to me like you do in your songs A E Your letters are drawing on me from above Gbm A Dbm I know who you are and I know you are loved
