[Verse]E
You know that I'd cut my hair
ABE
If I knew that's what you wanted
A lot of people might get scared
ABE
But you still get my engine running
[Pre-Chorus]F#mC#m
But baby, I couldn't let you know
AE
Because you've still got me hiding
F#mC#m
And only you could keep me waiting
A
While we're just getting older
B
I'm just getting older
[Chorus]E
Cuz baby
My will is like a
AC#mB
cold-blooded killer
E
It blasts a hole in my head
AC#mB
And dumps it into the river
AE
This is the edge of wearing down
C#mB
It always feels like I'm staring out
AE
Of someone's body who isn't me
C#m
They keep me locked in
B
So that I can't speak
AE
This is the edge of breaking down
C#m
This kind of high
B
Really takes you out
AE
It the kind of words I
can't really say
C#mB
It's the kind of person that I
can't be
