[Verse 1]
[F]
Brothers and sisters, look at you now
Same old fire, same old shouts
You slam the door, you bite your tongue
Then call it love when the damage is done
[M]
I know, I know, I push too hard
You say one word and I play my cards
We tear the room, we tear the night
Still show up first when the world gets rough
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
So put your foot down
Say what you mean
If you want my help
Don’t come halfway clean
[M]
Put your foot down
Make me hear it plain
We can go to war
And still share the rain
[Chorus]
[F]
Claws down, claws down
Love you to death
Claws down, claws down
Take that next step
[M]
We fight like cats and dogs
Then pull you back from the edge
[F]
Claws down, claws down
Put your foot down
[Verse 2]
[M]
I seen your bruises hiding in sleeves
You seen my pride on its knees
We’re all sharp teeth in a small little house
But nobody leaves when the lights go out
[F]
So I’ll be blunt when you need the truth
I’ll be the brake when you burn through
If I shake you hard, it’s because I care
If you’re falling fast, I’ll be there
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
So put your foot down
Say what you mean
If you want my help
Don’t come halfway clean
[M]
Put your foot down
Make me hear it plain
We can go to war
And still share the rain
[Chorus]
[F]
Claws down, claws down
Love you to death
Claws down, claws down
Take that next step
[M]
We fight like cats and dogs
Then pull you back from the edge
[F]
Claws down, claws down
Put your foot down
[Bridge]
[M]
If I’m stubborn, break through
If you’re scared, I’ll stay
[F]
If I’m loud, don’t run
Stand your ground and say
Both:
What needs saying
What needs saving
What needs doing
Do it now
[Final Chorus]
[F]
Claws down, claws down
Love you to death
Claws down, claws down
Take that next step
[M]
We fight like cats and dogs
Then pull each other from the edge
[F]
Claws down, claws down
Put your foot down
