πΈ Intro:
Bmaj7 B/F B Bmaj7/Cm x2
πΈ Verse 1:
Bmaj7 B/F
Perfect, easy, so good to me
B Bmaj7/Cm
So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
Bmaj7 B/F
Distract myself, say it's somethin' else
B Bmaj7/Cm
Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused
πΈ Pre-Chorus:
Gm7 B/F
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
Badd9 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11
But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure
Gm7 B/F
I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time
Bmaj7
I've never felt so happy and sure
πΈ Chorus:
B Bmaj7 B/B B
But I'm so scared of my guitar
Bmaj7 B Fm11 B
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
B Bmaj7 B/B B
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
Bmaj7 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11 B
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
B Bmaj7 B/B B
I'm so scared of my guitar
Bmaj7 B Fm11 B
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
B Bmaj7 B/B B
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
Bmaj7 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11 B
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
πΈ Verse 2:
Bmaj7 B/F
If I was brave and noble like you
B Bmaj7/Cm
I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along
Bmaj7 B/F
But I'm not half as decent as you
B Bmaj7/Cm
I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong
πΈ Pre-Chorus:
Gm7 B/F
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
Badd9 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11
I'm not as alright as I claim
Gm7 B/F
I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time
Bmaj7
As they watch all the light fade away
πΈ Chorus:
B Bmaj7 B/B B
But I'm so scared of my guitar
Bmaj7 B Fm11 B
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
B Bmaj7 B/B B
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
Bmaj7 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11 B
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
B Bmaj7 B/B B
I'm so scared of my guitar
Bmaj7 B Fm11 B
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
B Bmaj7 B/B B
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
Bmaj7 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11 B
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Bmaj7 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11 Bmaj7 Badd9
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
πΈ Bridge:
B Badd9 Bmaj7/Cm Badd9
I pretend that it's love
Fm11 B/F
I pretend that it's love, I pretend that it's love, love
πΈ Pre-Chorus:
Gm7 B/F
'Cause what if I never find anything better?
Badd9 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11
The doubt always creeps through my mind
Gm7 B/F
So we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever
Bmaj7
Trade somethin' that's good for what's right?
πΈ Chorus:
B Bmaj7 B/B B
Oh, I'm so scared of my guitar
Bmaj7 B Fm11 B
It cuts right through to my heart
B Bmaj7 B/B B
It knows me too well, I got no excuse
Bmaj7 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11 B
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
B Bmaj7 B/B B
I'm so scared of my guitar
Bmaj7 B Fm11 B
When I play it, that's when I'll think too hard
B Bmaj7 B/B B
I let the thought in, it's already done
Bmaj7 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11 B
But I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Bmaj7 Bmaj7/Cm Fm11 B
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
