The Contract ACOUSTIC (CHORDS) by Area 11
[Intro]~
Bm D Em G
Bm D Em
[Verse 1]~
G Bm D Em
You spend a lifetime
G Bm D Em
Locked in the same mindset
G Bm D Em
You break the contract
G Bm D Em
And smile away your debt
G Bm D Em
I play for closure
G Bm D Em
Through the fear and the thrill of the fight
G Bm D Em
Move a little bit closer
G Bm D
'Cause you're in for a jagged night
F#
Hold tight
[Pre-Chorus 1]~
Bm
I close my eyes
A toxic calling
Bm
Just let it resonate
We call it suffering
Bm
Fear constricts my hand
D A G
Still I won't sign the line
G
We know
A
Just who to trust this time
[Chorus 1]~
G Bm
I want you
D
To give me what I need
Em
Lay waste to your beliefs
G
Rebuild yourself for me
Bm
I want you
Em G
To come alive again
A Bm
To come alive again
D Em G Bm D Em G
[Verse 2]~
Bm D Em
I feign obsession
G Bm D Em
And abbreviate my fuse
G Bm D Em
You're my possession
G Bm
Until I'm done with you
D F#
And I see it shining through
Wear my promise as a bruise
[Pre-Chorus 2]~
Bm
I close my eyes
A toxic calling
Bm
Just let it resonate
We call it suffering
Bm
Trying to forget
D A G
The things I could have said
Each word a rusted arrowhead
A G
We salutate and drink from lead
[Chorus 2]~
G Bm
I want you
D
To give me what I need
Em
Lay waste to your beliefs
G
Rebuild yourself for me
Bm
I want you
D
To feel as I feel
Em
Repairing who you are
A
Becoming my ideal
G Bm
I want you
D
Submit yourself to me
Em
Your body and your mind
G
Give it willingly
Bm
I want you
Em D
To come alive again
A Bm
To come alive again
