Front Porch Step - Private Fears In Public Places

   B0                         E1
0So cold is the wind that blows your hair.
   B2                         E3
1So warm is your touch upon my skin.
   B4                   E5
2How tired am I of being scared,
        B6                                E7
3but how awake am I now that I know you're here.
                   B8
4'Cause I'd rather fight with you than laugh with another.
           G#m9
5I'd rather freeze in your arms than be warm under covers.
E10                                                      F#11
6 I'd let you hit me before I ever let you hit the floor.
B12
7I'd rather choke than to breath in your absence.
               G#m13
8I'd rather feel your wrath than feel another's passion.
              E14                                                     F#15
9I'd rather die on the day that I give you a kiss than spend the rest of my
10
11life knowing I never did
         B16                                             G#m17
12So just hold me and tell me that I'm everything you need.
                                 E18                                      F#19
13Tell me that, that lonely little heart of yours that I've been dying for,
                B20
14ain't out of reach.
B21
15So if you're looking for some proof
16
17that there's a heart inside of me
                G#m22
18 than lace your fingers between mine and you will see it start to leak.
         E23
19And I know you're not a crutch but I can hold you when I stand
            F#24
20'cause I am living for touch but I would die to be your man.
       B25
21Let me look into your eyes
22
23like I am searching for your soul.
        G#m26
24Wrap my arms around your waist
25
26like it is dying from the cold.
       E27
27Run my fingers through your hair
28
29like they are water from the drain.
         F#28
30Press my lips against your back
31
32like they could take away its pain.
       B29
33And to give you everything,
34
35there is nothing I wont do.
        G#m30
36Dump my heart into a blender
37
38just to pour it out to you.
      E31
39And I know you're feeling tired.
40
41Just let me hold you for a bit.
        D32
42Dive my face between your thighs until I cannot feel my lips. ohh

45I know that you think I'm kind of odd.
            B40
46But if your love was a mountain,
                                 E41
47I swear that I'd climb to the top.
        B42                                                   E43
48I Would tell you "you're lovely and everything ill ever need,
       B44                                                     E45      B46
49and id give you my all if you'd just come and stand next to me."
