C Am7
All I ever had to say about love is a sad song
C Am7
I get off on telling everybody what went wrong
F Am7
It makes me feel like the pain had a purpose
F G
Keeps me believing that maybe its worth it
C Am7
Truth is all I really want is somebody who wants me
C Am7
Somebody I can count on, who won't disappoint me
F Am7
At first it seems easy, I vow not to give up
F G
Let 'em debase me, while keeping my chin up
Chorus:
C Am7 F
'Cause I got the trigger, but you hold the gun
C Am7 F
How come you never put the safety on?
C Am7 F
I got the trigger, but you hold the gun
C Am7 F
How come you never put the safety on? Hmm

Verse 2:
C Am7
So what do people sing about once they finally found it?
C Am7
Take it for granted think of how they were better without it
F Am7
I'd like to imagine I'll never be like that
F G
But if I'm honest, I know I already have
Chorus:
C Am7 F
'Cause I got the trigger, but you hold the gun
C Am7 F
How come you never put the safety on?

I got the trigger, but you hold the gun

How come you never put the safety on? Hmm
