Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
A augmentedA  E MajorE            C# minorC#m
I am selfish, I am holding my breath
A augmentedA          E MajorE
Biting my tongue and hedging boyish bets
A augmentedA             E MajorE           C# minorC#m
I'm not speechless, just afraid of what I could lose
A augmentedA             E MajorE
So I'm just staring at my shoes
A augmentedA            E MajorE         C# minorC#m
I'm filling space on the floor next to your bed
A augmentedA           E MajorE
Where I'll fall asleep grasping at your hand
A augmentedA              E MajorE           C# minorC#m
I'm filled with words that always seem to come too soon
A augmentedA              E MajorE
And I'm still staring at my shoes

Instrumental:
A augmentedA E MajorE  A augmentedA

Verse 2:
     E MajorE
Sometimes love can feel a lot like fear
A augmentedA     E MajorE
Sometimes I can't find the words you need to hear
  A augmentedA      E MajorE             C# minorC#m
And if I have to choose, I'll always choose you
A augmentedA        E MajorE
Though I'm still staring at my shoes

Outro:
