Intro:

G Cadd9 G    Cadd9 G


Verse 1:
G
I was getting good at living in my lonely paradise
        Dm              G
Now I'm letting her get tangled in my busy little life
        Cadd9
She's a heartbreaker on paper
Cadd9
But I'll read between the lines
        Am7
Now I'm crossing both fingers
        D
And I'm closing both my eyes

Verse 2:
        G
We were casually kissing in the corner of a bar
        Dm
Trading compliments like medicine to fix our broken hearts
        Cadd9
Now I'm narrowing my vision
Cadd9
I'm little caught off guard
       Am7
By how quickly
                      D                    Cadd9
I am feeling right at home inside her arms


Chorus:
           G          D                     Cadd9
'Cause optimism isn't for the faint of heart
             G           D                Cadd9
And ain't forever just a fragile house of cards?
             G                          Am7
If you go outside you might bitten by a snake
             Cadd9               G
But that's a risk I'm willing to take


Instrumental Break:
G


Verse 3:
G
Old love often lingers like a sweater that is torn
          Dm
You don't wear it in the winter but you kept in the drawer
        Cadd9
And the last one did some damage
Cadd9
Like a category four
           Am
Some might call it a disaster
       D               Cadd9
I call it an open door


Chorus:
              G                        D          Cadd9
'Cause loving someone means you've got someone to lose
            G                    D           Cadd9
And tougher skin don't mean it's never gonna bruise
             G                                   Am7
If we take a walk we might get caught out in the rain
             Cadd9               G
But that's a risk I'm willing to take


Bridge:
  Am7                           D
Experience has taught me not to trust
                     Am7                           D
To lock the door and make sure that it never opens up
            Am7                              D
Treating anyone that tries to love me like a stranger
           Am7        G            Cadd9
But what's living without a little danger?


out-Chorus:
           G          D                     Cadd9
'Cause optimism isn't for the faint of heart
             G           D                Cadd9
And ain't forever just a fragile house of cards?
             G                          Am7
If you go outside you might bitten by a snake
         Cadd9               G
That's a risk I'm willing to take
G        Cadd9               G
That's a risk I'm willing to take
