VERSE 1:
          Em      D     
I've been waiting
               C          
Waiting is the hardest part
D     Em        D
Lying sleepless
                   C
Thinking 'bout you in the dark
D         Em        D
I've been balled up
               C 
Wound up like a coiled up spring
D       Em             D        
And the memory is just fading now,
  C                                D
I close my eyes, and it's you I see

PRECHORUS:
  Em     C            D       C
I made a promise that I can't keep
  Em     C            D       C
I close my eyes, and I can't sleep

CHORUS:
          Em          G  Cmaj7     D
Cause you hold me down, hold me down
Em          G  Cmaj7
Hold me down, hold me down.

VERSE 2:
          Em     D  
I've been driving
           C    
Driving by your house at night
D         Em     D
I've been haunted
               C            D
Walking in the pale moonlight
          Em        D
I've been huddled up
              C             D
Wound up like a coiled up spring
        Em             D 
And the memory is just fading now,
  C                              D
I close my eyes, and it's you I see.

(PRECHORUS/CHORUS)

Go into the grave with you

SOLO:
Em   D   C     D Em  D  C    D Em   D   C    D Em  D  C     D      

(PRECHORUS/CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
Em               D                C   
The last thing I remember was her face
Em           D              C 
As I put her in the shallow grave
         Em       G     Cmaj7       D
She says "hold me down, hold me down, 
Em         G  Cmaj7         D           Cmaj       Em        
Hold me down, hold me down, go into the grave with you."
