I'll hold your hand when you are feeling mad at me

Yeah when the monsters they won't go away
The windows won't close

I'll pretend to see what you see

How long I say how long
G D
Will you relive the things that are gone
Em G D
The devil's on your back but I know you can shake him off Mmmmm
[Chorus]
C G Em D
And everyday that you wanna wanna waste, you wanna waste, you can
C G Em D
And everyday that you wanna wake up, you wanna wake, you can

And everyday that you wanna change, you wanna change, yeah

I'll help you see it through, 'cause I just really wanna be with you

Em G D
You know it's funny how freedom Can make us feel contained
Em G D
When the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walkin' Mmmm
Em G D
I know if you could snap both your fingers, then you'd escape with me
Em G
But in the meantime I'll just wait here and listen to you when you speak or
D
scream
[Chorus]
C G Em D
And everyday that you wanna wanna waste, you wanna waste, you can
C G Em D
And everyday that you wanna wake up, you wanna wake, you can
C G Em D
And everyday that you wanna change, you wanna change, yeah
Am D
I'll help you see it through, 'cause I just really wanna be with you
