🎸 Intro:

BMaj7Bmaj7 B/F BB Bmaj7/Cm x2


🎸 Verse 1:
BMaj7Bmaj7         B/F
Perfect, easy, so good to me
  BB                 Bmaj7/Cm
So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
BMaj7Bmaj7             B/F
Distract myself, say it's somethin' else
BB                 Bmaj7/Cm
Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Gm7Gm7          B/F
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
   Badd9Badd9           Bmaj7/Cm Fm11Fm11
But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure
 Gm7Gm7            B/F
I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time
    BMaj7Bmaj7
I've never felt so happy and sure


🎸 Chorus:
  BB  BMaj7Bmaj7 B/B       BB
But I'm so  scared of my guitar
     BMaj7Bmaj7 BB   Fm11Fm11      BB
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
     BB      BMaj7Bmaj7   B/B   BB
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
    BMaj7Bmaj7     Bmaj7/Cm   Fm11Fm11   BB
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
BB  BMaj7Bmaj7 B/B       BB
I'm so  scared of my guitar
   BMaj7Bmaj7 BB    Fm11Fm11      BB
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
     BB       BMaj7Bmaj7     B/B   BB
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
   BMaj7Bmaj7    Bmaj7/Cm  Fm11Fm11      BB
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love

🎸 Verse 2:
  BMaj7Bmaj7         B/F
If I was brave and noble like you
BB                     Bmaj7/Cm
I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along
  BMaj7Bmaj7         B/F
But I'm not half as decent as you
  BB                Bmaj7/Cm
I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Gm7Gm7        B/F
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
  Badd9Badd9        Bmaj7/Cm Fm11Fm11
I'm not as alright as I claim
 Gm7Gm7            B/F
I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time
    BMaj7Bmaj7
As they watch all the light fade away


🎸 Chorus:
  BB  BMaj7Bmaj7 B/B       BB
But I'm so  scared of my guitar
     BMaj7Bmaj7 BB   Fm11Fm11      BB
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
     BB      BMaj7Bmaj7   B/B   BB
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
    BMaj7Bmaj7     Bmaj7/Cm   Fm11Fm11   BB
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
BB  BMaj7Bmaj7 B/B       BB
I'm so  scared of my guitar
   BMaj7Bmaj7 BB    Fm11Fm11      BB
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
     BB       BMaj7Bmaj7     B/B   BB
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
   BMaj7Bmaj7    Bmaj7/Cm  Fm11Fm11      BB
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
    BMaj7Bmaj7    Bmaj7/Cm  Fm11Fm11      BMaj7Bmaj7  Badd9Badd9
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love


🎸 Bridge:
          BB Badd9Badd9  Bmaj7/Cm Badd9Badd9
I pretend that it's love
                Fm11Fm11         B/F
I pretend that it's love, I pretend that it's love, love


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    Gm7Gm7         B/F
'Cause what if I never find anything better?
  Badd9Badd9             Bmaj7/Cm Fm11Fm11
The doubt always creeps through my mind
  Gm7Gm7            B/F
So we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever
   BMaj7Bmaj7
Trade somethin' that's good for what's right?


🎸 Chorus:
  BB  BMaj7Bmaj7 B/B       BB
Oh, I'm so  scared of my guitar
  BMaj7Bmaj7 BB   Fm11Fm11      BB
It cuts right through to my heart
  BB      BMaj7Bmaj7  B/B   BB
It knows me too well, I got no excuse
    BMaj7Bmaj7     Bmaj7/Cm   Fm11Fm11   BB
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
BB  BMaj7Bmaj7 B/B       BB
I'm so  scared of my guitar
    BMaj7Bmaj7 BB        Fm11Fm11      BB
When I play it, that's when I'll think too hard
  BB       BMaj7Bmaj7  B/B   BB
I let the thought in, it's already done
     BMaj7Bmaj7    Bmaj7/Cm  Fm11Fm11      BB
But I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
    BMaj7Bmaj7    Bmaj7/Cm  Fm11Fm11    BB
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
