Dbm:  6444

[Verse 1]
A    Gbm      Bm                Dbm
i'm sorry but this is called a shield
       A            Bm             Gbm        Dbm                  A       Gbm
its a tool i use to mark the distance between us because i don't know you
        Bm           Dbm                 A             Bm
and so many times before even from the other injured parties
           Gbm                 Dbm
i've been stabbed and hit and clawed at because i don't know


[Verse 2]
A                     Gbm
its easy to when you close your mind off
    Bm                  Dbm         A
to try and hurt and control other people
                 Bm
to get what you think what you want
            Gbm                     Dbm
without even realizing what you're doing
            A               Gbm
that other people are also people
            Bm          Dbm
and not dispensers or enablers
                    A             Bm           Gbm   Dbm
and it's not their obligation to please you at all

[Bridge]
A  Gbm  Bm  Dbm x2


[Chorus]
          A       Gbm               Bm
i can't imagine a love between two people
            Dbm              A                     Bm                Gbm    Dbm
that isn't anchored or isn't shackled, that isn't centered around control
          A       Gbm               Bm
i can't imagine a love between two people
            Dbm              A                     Bm                Gbm    Dbm
that isn't anchored or isn't shackled, that isn't centered around control


[Verse 3]
     A        Gbm               Bm
i'm sorry but this is called a shield
                  Dbm              A              Bm                  Gbm  Dbm
i'm sorry if you think that you belong inside my space and i'm being mean
                A       Gbm           Bm                Dbm               A      Bm  Gbm           Dbm
that i'm being cruel by religating you to a place where you can no longer injure me again and and again
       A           Gbm        Bm            Dbm
and if i knew your name man i wouldn't hesitate to call this song that
A                     Bm                  Gbm              Dbm
so all your future employers could know exactly where you stand
          A
i'm not afraid
        Gbm                Bm
and discussing pain isn't weakness
          Dbm            A
and being injured isn't weakness
       Bm             Gbm       Dbm
that's just what i'm trying to explain


[Chorus]

          A       Gbm               Bm
i can't imagine a love between two people
            Dbm              A                     Bm                Gbm    Dbm
that isn't anchored or isn't shackled, that isn't centered around control
          A       Gbm               Bm
i can't imagine a love between two people
            Dbm              A                     Bm                Gbm    Dbm
that isn't anchored or isn't shackled, that isn't centered around control
