[Verse]
C                      F#dim
I can't stand feeling violent
         F               C
But it's hard not to sometimes
         C             F#dim
When the innocent get slaughtered
        F            C
And the guilty get a fine
       C                F#dim
When I drown myself in chemicals
     F              C
Do I even have a choice?
           C                    F#dim
And if you scream and no one hears you
        F           C
Are you even making noise?


[Chorus]
      C           G
All I wanna do is hold you
         F                      C
But I'm afraid I'll squeeze too tight
          C                  G
Until the energy leaves your body
        F                    C
And the tears fall from your eyes

[Verse] 
   C                F#dim
We don't need to be coddled 
      F               C
or to be told life is fair
      C           F#dim
By an omnipresent army 
       F           C
with a power to be feared
         C                     F#dim
So as we time out half-assed platforms
       F              C
As the victims form a line
         C               F#dim
Will the Riot Squad Protection Force
     F                 C
Ever try to fight for life?


[Chorus]
      C           G
All I wanna do is hold you
         F                      C
But I'm afraid I'll squeeze too tight
          C                  G
Until the energy leaves your body
        F                    C
And the tears fall from your eyes
      Am          G
All I wanna do is hold you
        F                 Am
And I'm gonna squeeze you tight
        Am                G
Until I feel your heart restarting
              N.C.
And bring the joy back to your life
