Em
Oh hollow child
           C        G
Somebody's made you empty
Em
And all the while
             C      G
I wished for you an entry

[Chorus]
       G    Em
I will love you
C         Am                Em
If nobody else will seem to make your bed

[Verse 2]
Em
Oh hollow child
           C       G
I hate the way you process
Em
A powdered wig
         C       G
Behind a lack of progress

[Chorus]
       G    Em
I will draw you
C           Am                 Em
As somebody else who you would like to save

[Bridge]
    Em
And remedy isn't a plenty
    D
But melody isn't as deadly
C                         (G)(D)
Brother
    Em
And I know it isn't forgiving
    D
But nobody loves when we're living
   C
So fuck her

[Verse 3]
Em
Oh hollow child
          C       G
I want to be your witness
Em
A martyrdom enveloped
C       G
As your sickness

[Chorus]
       G    Em
I will hear you
C             Am           Em
Regardless of any trace of consciousness

[Verse 4]
Em
Oh hollow child
          C    G
I felt it incremental
Em
But I have had
              C      G
The privilege of the pencil

[Chorus]
       G    Em
I will bind you
C          Am              Em
If only to make it so that you stay here

[Bridge]
    Em
And remedy isn't a plenty
    D
But melody isn't as deadly
C                         (G)(D)
Brother
    Em
And I know it isn't forgiving
    D
But nobody loves when we're living
   C
So fuck her

[Chorus]
       G    Em
I will hold you
C           Am             Em
But only if you would ever want me to
       G    Em
I will heal you
C              Am                Em
If that is the only thing you've left to do
