Tension

Am                            F
You say things you don't mean too 
damn convincingly
C                         G
You take it back and then expect 
that it won't stick to me
Am                      F
"Was just an argument," "No ounce of
 truth in it"
C                            G
I wanna believe you, but you came 
off so articulate


[Pre-Chorus]
F          C                  Am
I've tried walkin' away in my head
      G                           
For a moment, it's peaceful, then 
F                 C
scares me to death
     G
So I guess


[Chorus]
          F                 C
Sometimes tension brings us closer
             Am                    
Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you 
          G
when it's over
      F                 C
I get cold, but you get colder
             Am                    
Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you 
          G
when it's over
       F                      
You're not the things you say, 
        C
you're not the things you do
              G                    
These are the lies I tell myself to
           Am
 stay with you
                F                 
Like sometimes, tension brings us 
G
closer
                                F  
I just wanna hold you when it's 
  C
over
         Am                        
You know I just wanna hold you when
      G
 it's over


[Verse 2]
Am
You say love's push and pull

F
Well you're both the push and the 
pull
C                              
And I'm hangin' on for dear life 
   G
'cause I'm scared to let you go
Am                          F
The good that's left in us, it still
 feels good enough
C                       G
Set us on fire and I'll find a way 
to hold us up


[Pre-Chorus]
F          C                  Am
I've tried walkin' away in my head
      G                           
For a moment, it's peaceful, then 
F                   C
scares me to death
     G
So I guess


[Chorus]
          F                 C
Sometimes tension brings us closer
             Am                    
Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you 
          G
when it's over
      F                 C
I get cold, but you get colder
             Am                    
Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you 
          G
when it's over
       F                      
You're not the things you say,

you're not the things you do
              G

G
closer
                                F  
I just wanna hold you when it's

over
         Am                        
You know I just wanna hold you when
      G
 it's over
         F                         
You know I just wanna hold you when
      C
 it's over
         Am                        
You know I just wanna hold you when
      G
 it's over


[Bridge]
         F                      
You know I would stick around in 
          C
ways you wouldn't
         Am                    
You know I put up with things I 
        G
really shouldn't
         F                         
You know most the weight of us is 
     C
on my shoulders
         Am                        
You know I just wanna hold you when
      G
 it's over
         F                       
You know I'll forgive you just to 
         C
keep it simple
         Am                        
You know I will meet you so far 
      G
past the middle
         F                         
You know no one's ever seen you any
 C
 lower
         Am                        
You know I just wanna hold you when
      G
 it's over


[Chorus]
          F                 C
Sometimes tension brings us closer
             Am                    
Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you 
          G
when it's over
      F                 C
I get cold, but you get colder
             Am                    
Is it wrong? I just wanna hold you 
          G
when it's over
       F                      
You're not the things you say, 
        C
you're not the things you do
              G                    
These are the lies I tell myself to
           Am

You know I just wanna hold you when
      G
 it's over
         F                         
You know I just wanna hold you when
      C
 it's over
         Am                        
You know I just wanna hold you when
      G
 it's over
