Key: Bb

Verse 1:
C
Love turns you off like a lightbulb
                                 G
In the darkness it seems plain to see
            Am
That you’re healing from wounds

And I’m here too soon
                  G        C
Your heart is not ready for me
C
Kindness burns your skin like a fire
                              G
So you starve my flames of air
Am
Scars from the past they

Never heal fast
                    G       C
You’re not ready to let me care

Pre-Chorus 1:
    Dm                           G
I’m not trying to sound like I’m preaching
C                        Am
   But you’ve got to forgive yourself
         Em           F
It’s the first step to letting in
                  G
The right somebody else

Chorus 1:
                            C
You’ve got to love yourself first
                   G
And I wish I could wait for you
         F                G
But I've got to go now and love myself too

Verse 2:
     C
Your affection drew my affection
                       G
My affection drove you away
       Am
Like a bird in the night who

Longs for the light but
      G                       C
Flies West at the dawn of the day

Pre-Chorus 2:
      Dm                             G
And I craved to help you through the darkness
           C                Am
But you’re right to push me away
Em                       F
   Only you can walk the path
                        G
That leads you back my way

Chorus 2:
                            C
You’ve got to love yourself first
                   G
And I wish I could wait for you
         F                G            C
But I've got to go now and love myself too

Outro:
     F                 G
I’ve got to go now and
     Am                Em
I’ve got to go now and
     F                 G
I’ve got to go now and
            C
Love myself too
