F C F C
β« Verse:
F
Perfect, easy, so good to me
C
So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
F
Distract myself, say it's somethin' else
C Am
Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused
β« PRE-Chorus:
Am G
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
F
But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure
Am G
I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time
I've never felt so happy and sure
β« Chorus:
C Am G
But I'm so scared of my guitar
F D/E F
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
C Am G
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
F C
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
C Am C
I'm so scared of my guitar
F C C
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
Am C
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
F C F C
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
β« Verse:
F
If I was brave and noble like you
C
I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along
F
But I'm not half as decent as you
C
I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong
β« PRE-Chorus:
Am G
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
F
I'm not as alright as I claim
Am G
I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time
F
As they watch all the light fade away
β« Chorus:
C Am
Yeah, I'm so scared of my guitar
F D/E F
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
C Am G
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
F D/E F C
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
C Am C
I'm so scared of my guitar
F C F G
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
C Am C
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
F C F C
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
F C F D7
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
β« Bridge:
F C F C
I pretend that it's love
C
I pretend that it's love
Dm G
I pretend that it's love, love
β« PRE-Chorus:
Am G
'Cause what if I never find anything better?
F
The doubt always creeps through my mind
Am G
So we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever
F
Trade somethin' that's good for what's right?
β« Chorus:
C
Oh, I'm so scared of my guitar
It cuts right through to my heart
C
It knows me too well, I got no excuse
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
C
I'm so scared of my guitar
When I play it is when I think too hard
I let the thought in, it's already done
But I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
