[Verse 1]
D A Em G
Pain is a gift within reason and when things end you know
E Em
It feels like a little death
D A Em G
I'm here in the rift and even though I know that I dont suffer
E Em
Half as much, who am I to judge the pain I've been in
[Pre-chorus]
A G
Cause losing makes room for a new bloom
E
I thought you would protect me
A
But I don't need your protection anymore
[Chorus]
D Am
I don't want a hiding place
C G
I just wanna feel whatever comes my way
Bbm D
Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake
A
Let it lay me out
D Am
I just wanna learn from big mistakes
C G
Instead of fearing everything and staying the same
Bbm D
Even from a bad day like a tidal wave
A
Let it take me down
[Verse 2]
D A Em G
I'm tryin' to shut it out but selective numbin's about as possible
E Em
As tryin' not to blink not to think about the one thing on your mind
D A Em G
Around and around we'll go running in circles
E Em
Trying' to keep the spiral from caving in to say everything's fine
[Pre-Chorus]
A G
Cause losing makes room for a new bloom
E
I thought you would protect me
A
But I don't need your protection anymore
[Chorus]
D Am
I don't want a hiding place
C G
I just wanna feel whatever comes my way
Bbm D
Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake
A
Let it lay me out
D Am
I just wanna learn from big mistakes
C G
Instead of fearing everything and staying the same
Bbm D
Even from a bad day like a tidal wave
A
Let it take me down
[Bridge]
Dm Em
Don't protect me
Dm Em
Don't want protection anymore
Dm Em
Let it wreck me
Dm Em Dm
Take something with me from the floor
[Chorus]
D Am
I don't want a hiding place
C G
I just wanna feel whatever comes my way
Bbm D
Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake
A
Let it lay me out
