Intro:

Am Em G Am


Verse 1:
         Am
In every book in the house, notes from you fall out
        Em
All the love that came my way, I found a way to push away
G
I don't wanna be afraid anymore
              Am
I don't wanna run from love like I had before
                  Am
And on the way to couples therapy, you put your headphones in
       Em
So you didn't have to talk to me
                     G
Listening to our own demos on the ride home
                  Am
You have a bigger ego than you think you do
                 C                   Em         Am
Slide down in my seat so as not to threaten you

Pre-Chorus:
          C             Em
Let it be us, let it be home
           Am
Falling asleep and not looking at our phone
C Em

Chorus:
Dm                            Am       C             Em
 'Cause I know how to fall in love, I do it constantly
Dm                         Am              C               Em
  I fall in love with everyone I meet for ten minutes at least
Dm                Am          C                  Em
  Then comes the work, the resentments, and the hurt
 Dm                  Am            C             Em   Am
Looking at your haircut and that stupid band T-shirt


Verse 2:
          Am
I always thought I was nice, I thought I was kind
         Em
'Til I tried to do something that was almost real life
              G
It's not like what I've seen in TV shows
               Am
It's not like what I've read in books
              Am
It's so much harder than it looks
                Em
And there isn't much applause
                 G                                  Am
If it required practice and dedication, I just got bored
                        C
We discussed something called compromise
   Em                     Am
A brand new concept that I never tried


Pre-Chorus:
          C             Em
Let it be us, let it be home
           Am
Falling asleep and not looking at our phone
C Em

Chorus:
Dm                            Am      C          Em
 'Cause I know how to fall in love, I do it easily
Dm                         Am             C               Em
  I fall in love with everyone I meet for ten minutes at least
Dm                Am         C                   Em
  Then comes the work, the resentments, and the hurt
Dm                     Am           C            Em     Am
Looking at your haircut and that stupid band T-shirt, hmm


Bridge:
 A#
Breaking my bones, getting four out of five
Am
Listening to a song by The 1975
            A#                                        Am     C Em
I thought, 'Fuck it, I might as well give music by men  a try'


Chorus:
Dm                  Am
  Let there be love, let there be light
               C                Em
Let there be a quiet day and an easy night
       Dm                           Am           C Em
Let me put out a record and have it not ruin my life
          Dm            Am
Let it be us, let it be home
                 C                  Em
Let it not be a spotlight standing alone
        Dm               Am                    C Em Am
Running back to the only love I could ever control
