(capo at 2)  intro:
D    a   d   dsus4 d   bm  gsus4
D a d dsus4 d    bm   gsus4
Verse 1
D   a   d
Someone called me from across the ocean
A  g
To find a weak link in my devotion
D   a   d
They can shoot hot knives a' down the line
A g
I just slam it down every time
Chorus 1
F#m  g   d
I got the telephone jammed in my ear
A    g
They're still talking but i don't hear
F#m     g   d
Oh don't defend when my heart starts to attack
Bm7  g a   d
We can face the danger  baby no holding back
D   a  d  / d  d a    g  d
There's no holding back
D   a  d  / d  d  a    d
Verse 2
D   a    d
I cam't swear we'll never get caught
A g
I got scars all over my pass-port
D  a    d
But we can't give in to every whim and fancy
A   g
Coming to crunches is always chancey
Chorus 2
F#m    g d
I get it all being rammed down my ear
A   g
I'm still talking but i don't hear
F#m     g   d
Oh don't defend when my heart starts to attack
Bm7   g a   d
We can face the danger baby no holding back
D   a  d  / d  d  a g   d
And there's no holding back
D  a d  / d  d  a  d
Bridge
Bm
When i tell the truth it's like pulling a tooth
F#m
I don't know what i've let myself in for
Bm
My insides are black from years of being slack
D    g a  d
But we can face the danger and we won't hold back
D  a  d  dsus4 d bm gsus4
D a d dsus4 d    bm   gm
Chorus 3
F#m    g  d
I get it all being rammed down my ear
A   g
I'm still shaking but not with fear
F#m  g d
Oh don't defend when my heart starts to attack
Bm7    g  a
We can face the danger
Bm7 g  a
We can face the danger
D
And we won't hold back
D  a d  / d  d  a   g  d
Baby there's no holding back
D a  d  / d d  a   g    d
Baby there's no holding back
