[Intro]
  
   x2

              
You swallow it

  
 down or spit 

it out
But either way let’s move along
         
I’m radioactiv

e and in piece

s
But I’m still feeling strong 
       
I can walk awa

y from all of 

this
Cars crash I just don’t care
 
Followers aban

don me 
‘Cause papa bear was unprepared
 
   
If only you co

uld hold me
   
My sweet sweet

 Jonie
            
I know I’d be 

              
so brave right

  
 now 
   
If only you co

uld hold me
   
My sweet sweet

 Jonie
            
I know I’d be 

              
so brave right

  
 now 
 
  
   x2

 
Maybe I’ll get

 back to you
Maybe I haven’t learned a thing
 
This is the la

st time for yo

u
But it’s not the last time for me
  
I love the thi

ngs you pay fo

r 
that knock you down and make you dizzy
      
I got distract

ed along the w

ay
shaking hands and looking busy

   
If only you co

uld hold me
   
My sweet sweet

 Jonie
            
I know I’d be 

              
so brave right

  
 now 
   
If only you co

uld hold me
   
My sweet sweet

 Jonie
            
I know I’d be 

              
so brave right

  
 now 

       
If only

*
            
You could hold

    
 me
              
My sweet sweet

    
 Jonie 
              
Oh god my one 

           
and only

(pause)

  
   x2

              
You ever think

          
 that maybe
            
I could be one

 of those thin

gs
           
You hate at fi

#
rst
         
But eventually

 learn to
            
love and then 

 
trust 
            
and then touch

 and then cut
            
I bet you will


        
Yeah I bet you

 will

  
   x2

  
Took a lot of 

day trips 
'tryna get away trip

Sorry I’ve got

 cold lips
Nothing left to say
         
I called doubl

e or nothing 
on everything that I had
        
Finally am wha

t I am
I am a bag of bags


Bag of bags

That’s all I a

m 
       
Just a bag of 

bags

That’s all I a

If only

Oh god my one
