🎸 Verse 1:
G
Down in Margate had a sip of you
                            Em D   Em D
And it went straight to my head
G
I could've opened up, cried and almost been myself
                        Em D   Em D
But I took the piss instead

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
           G               Bm/G
I find it hard, hard to be soft
                G#m/E
Stop saying I'm perfect
                  G
When clearly I'm not
             F#m
Just need to catch
          Em
Catch my breath


🎸 Chorus:
   G
Go slowly, slowly
D                             Bm/G
I know you're not supposed to know me
Em                     G
I only see it when you show me slowly
D                          Bm/G
I love to teach you how to hold me
          Em
So go on, hold me


🎸 Verse 2:
G
Remember when you called us both a cab
                        Em D   Em D
And forgot you had your bike

And the whole way home, I thought
G
"How's he keeping up with me?

He must be really into me"
     Em D              D
As I fight the urge to fly


🎸 Pre-Chorus:

           G               Bm/G
I find it hard, hard to be soft
                G#m/E
Stop saying I'm perfect
                  G
When clearly I'm not
             F#m
Just need to catch
          Em
Catch my breath


🎸 Chorus:
   G
Go slowly, slowly
D                             Bm/G
I know you're not supposed to know me
Em                     G
I only see it when you show me slowly
D                          Bm/G
I love to teach you how to hold me
          Em
So go on, hold me
   G
Go slowly, slowly
D                             Bm/G
I know you're not supposed to know me
Em                     G
I only see it when you show me slowly
D                          Bm/G
I love to teach you how to hold me
          Em
So go on, hold me


🎸 Outro:
D C#m Bm     A  G#m/E
Maybe I will be fine this time
         D   C#m Bm  A  G#m/E
And I'll let you see me in the light
      D C#m Bm     A  G#m/E
Yeah, maybe I will be fine
