D                             G
When your heirloom's wilted brown
D                        G
When the devils pushing down
D                        G
When your morning has a sound
D                    G
And you hesitate to laugh
D                      Em7
How quickly will your joy pass?
D                      Em7
How quickly will your joy pass?

Chorus:
Am                         Em
And when you walk inside I feel the door
G                           D
I'll never let it push your arms no more
Am                               Em
And when your legs give out just lie right down
G                               D
And I will kiss you till your breath is found
Am                          Em
And when you walk inside I feel the door
G                           D
I'll never let it push your arms no more

So do you think I came to fight?
And do I always think I’m right?
Oh no, I never meant to be
a pest to anyone this time
Oh no, I only meant to be
a friend to everyone this time
