Pre-Chorus:
                                                Ab/Eb

     Eb
When I hear you sing, it gets hard to breathe
Ab/Eb
Can't help but think every song's about me
    Cm
And every line, every word that I write
Baug
You are the muse in the back of my mind, oh


Pre-Chorus:
Eb                                                    Ab/Eb
   Don't wanna ask about it 'cause you might brush it off
                                                 Cm
   I'm afraid it you think it means something at all
                                                    Baug
