Intro:
G  Em  C  x2


Verse 1:
G                          Em
I'm a little scared you'll leave
                C
Even though you tell me you won't
G                      Em
I'm a little scared of being
             C
Someone that you're scared to love
    Am                 G/B
But you don't talk the way he did
    C
And you don't say the things he did
D/F#          Em7              D#maj7
I'm not who I was back then but still

Verse 2:
G                      Em
I'm a little scared to speak
              C
Cause I can't find the words to say
    G                          Em
And I don't want to make this about me
             C
I just can't hold it in today
    Am                 G/B
But you don't play the games he did
    C
And you don't make me feel like shit
    D/F#             Em7              D#maj7
And my mom likes you more than him but still


Chorus:
D        Em                 C
How do I tell you that I've come to like the pain?
D         Em              C
 How do I tell you that I don't know what it means
      Am             G/B              C
To be happy with somebody? Don't know anything 'bout that
        Am               G/B               C             C#dim  G
Who the hell can write a love song without making it too sad?
                 G     Em
That's all I've been
         D#maj7
How do I tell you?
         D#maj7     D           G    Em C
How do I tell you I got it from him?
  G   Em  C
Oooh, oh, ooh


Verse 3:
G                     Em
I'm a little prone to feel
               C
A little overwhelmed with it all
      G               Em
Cause you are someone I want to know
      C
And I hope you don't let me fall
D               Em
You make sure I get home safe
    C
And you always know what to say
D               G               D#
I feel like I found my place but still


Chorus:
D        Em                 C
How do I tell you that I've come to like the pain?
D         Em              C
 How do I tell you that I don't know what it means
      D              G                C
To be happy with somebody? Don't know anything 'bout that
        D                G                 C             C#dim  G
Who the hell can write a love song without making it too sad?
                 G   Em
That's all I've been
       D#maj7
How do I tell you?
         D#maj7     D           G   D#maj7
How do I tell you I got it from him?
