:I catalog these steps now,decisive and intentioned,

I'm careful not to wake you,fearing conversation.
It's better just to hold you and keep you pacified.
I'm talented with reason,I cover all the angles.

Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend.I will not break.)

2nd intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, intro,choru




you can work different variations of the notes in the chorus. there's a lot of room
to add in whatever. make sure to work with your volume. the intro and verse should be
soft, crescendo in the pre-chorus on the last note, chorus loud ans strong, and the end
part you'd better be playing so hard your strings snap
