And hide you in my treasure chest

I don't know what to do

To do with your kiss on my neck

I don't know what feels true

Yeah, you feel right so stay a sec

Chorus:
     Em       F
Let me crawl inside your veins
       Em            F
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
       Dm
It's not like me to be so mean

You're all I wanted

Just let me hold you
     Am C F
Like a hostage

Gold on your fingertips

Gold leaf across your lips

Kiss me until I can't speak

Am     C      F
Gold chain beneath your shirt
Am           C    F
The shirt that you let me wear home

Gold's fake and real love hurts
Am           C F
And nothing hurts when I'm alone
Am           C   F
When you're with me and we're alone

You're all I wanted

Just let me hold you

Hold you

Like a hostage
     Am C F
Like a hostage
