πΈ Intro:
D/F# G D D/F# ( x2 )
πΈ Verse 1:
D/F# G
Perfect, easy, so good to me
D D/F#
So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
D/F# G
Distract myself, say it's something else
D
Maybe I'm just overwhelmed
D/F# Bm D D/A D
Maybe I'm confused, barely sleep when you sleep next to me
G D Em
But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure
D D/A
I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time
C#dim
I've never felt so happy and sure
πΈ Chorus:
D D/C# D/B D/A
But I'm so scared of my guitar
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/A
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
D D/C# D/B D/A
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/F# Em D
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
D D/C# D/B D/A
I'm so scared of my guitar
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/A
If I play it then I'll think too hard
D D/C# D/B D/A
Once you let the thought in then it's already done
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/F# Em D
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
πΈ Verse 2:
D/F# G
I was ravin', noble like you
D D/F#
I had the nerve to just stop stringin' you along
D/F# G
But I'm not half as decent as you
D D/F#
I'd rather be tied to someone even if they're wrong
Bm D/A
Make excuses, my friends know the truth is
D/F# D Em
I'm not as alright as I claim
Bm D/A
I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time
C#dim
As they watch all the life fade away
πΈ Chorus:
D D/C# D/B D/A
Yeah, I'm so scared of my guitar
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/A
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
D D/C# D/B D/A
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/F# Em D
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
D D/C# D/B D/A
I'm so scared of my guitar
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/A
If I play it then I'll think too hard
D D/C# D/B D/A
Once you let the thought in then it's already done
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/F# Em D
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2* D/F#* Em* C#m7b5 Gsus2* D/F#* Em* D/F#
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that it's loooooooooooooooooooooooooove
πΈ Bridge:
Gsus2 D/F# Em D/F#
I pretend that it's loooooooooooooove
Gsus2 D/F#
I pretend that it's love
Em C#dim
I pretend that it's love, love
πΈ Verse 3:
Bm/F# D/F#
'Cause what if I never find anything better?
D/F# D Em
The doubt always creeps through my mind
Bm/F# D/F#
So we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever
C#dim
Trade something that's good for what's right?
πΈ Chorus:
D D/C# D/B D/A
Oh, I'm so scared of my guitar
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/A
It cuts right through my heart

I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
D D/C# D/B D/A
I'm so scared of my guitar
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/A
When I play it is when I think too hard
D D/C# D/B D/A
I let the thought in, it's already done
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/F# Em D
But I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 D/F# Em D
