🎸 Intro:

Bmaj7 B/F B Bmaj7/Cm x2


🎸 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

🎸 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


🎸 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


🎸 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


🎸 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


🎸 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


🎸 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


🎸 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?


🎸 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
