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
