[Intro]
DGGD
    *2
[Verse]
D                G                     Em
You bring me to life then you shut me out
             A                     D
You keep me silent when I should shout
             G                    Em
You make me cry and you make me come
             A
You are the cop and I'm on the run
[Chorus]
D         G                  Em
It all begins with just one kiss
                    A
I'm held hostage by your love
D         G              Em
Put me in cuffs, lock me up
                    A
I'm held hostage by your touch
D                           G
This prison is rough but I can't get enough
    Em                      A
The secret life of us keeps me in handcuffs
D              G                       Em
Don't lock me up, don't you wanna free us
                    A
I'm held hostage by your love
[Verse]
D               G                   Em
Then you let me out and I catch the sun
              A                    D
You give me a taste of you and no one
               G                    Em
But you always leave, and again I'm alone
            A
This secret burns but I'm imprisoned
[Chorus]
D         G                  Em
It all begins with just one kiss
                    A
I'm held hostage by your love
D         G              Em
Put me in cuffs, lock me up
                    A
I'm held hostage by your touch
D                           G
This prison is rough but I can't get enough
    Em                      A
The secret life of us keeps me in handcuffs
D              G                       Em
Don't lock me up, don't you wanna free us
                    A
I'm held hostage by your love
[Bridge]
G               Em             D
Secret life of lovers who have others
                 Bm
Under the covers
    G                  A
And while you break my heart
I'm a criminal in these parts
[Chorus]
D         G                  Em
It all begins with just one kiss
                    A
I'm held hostage by your love
D         G              Em
Put me in cuffs, lock me up
                    A
I'm held hostage by your touch
D                           G
This prison is rough but I can't get enough
    Em                      A
The secret life of us keeps me in handcuffs
D              G                       Em
Don't lock me up, don't you wanna free us
                    A
I'm held hostage by your love
[Outro:]
