[Intro] /  Esus2  /  Esus2 /  Esus2  /  Esus2 /  Esus2  /  Esus2 /  Esus2  /  Esus2 [Verse 1] If you were a baby I would take you and run I could hide you in the folds of my heart   There’s a truth in the madness that I can’t get beyond And a fever that won’t leave me alone     I don’t want my heart Don’t want my head    Don’t want my friends Don’t want my bed   I can’t live with myself     I can’t live with myself     Can’t take no help     I try to want to   But I can’t get beyond you       [Verse 2] I will stare from the window At the shapes in the rain As the space between us drives me insane   I can’t live with myself     I can’t live with myself      Can’t take no help     Don’t want no one else     [Bridge] If I was a child     I would refuse to leave     I would sit down on the street     Kick my legs and scream     I’m not much of a man        But I know how I am      I know this won’t fade away      I will pretend and be strong    But I wonder where I belong                     /  /   [Verse 4] And the feeling comes in waves A hole in my body aching Like a heart dying A soul crying Exhausted and insecure Took all you have and I still want more So I reach out to hold you           But all I do is hurt you      Hurt you   [Verse 5] I can’t live with myself I can’t live with myself      Can’t take no help I try to want to   But I can’t get beyond you                  If I was a child I would take you and run     And I say I don’t know... But I know And I say I’ll go   You just spent the whole day   Driving away     (repeat untill fadeout)
