Intro C G C Em
C G
perfect, easy, so good to me
so why's there a pit in my gut
in the shape of you?
C G
distract myself, say it's somethin' else
maybe i'm just overwhelmed, maybe i'm confused
Em Gm
barely sleep when you sleep next to me
Em
but i keep thinkin' i'll find a cure
Gm
i say that i'm fine, i tell you all the time
D
i've never felt so happy and sure
Chorus
G
but i'm so scared of my guitar
C
'cause it cuts right through to the heart
G Em
yeah, it knows me too well so i got no excuse
C D
i can't lie to it the same way that
i lie to you
G
i'm so scared of my guitar
C
if i play it, then i'll think too hard
G
once you let the thought in,
then it's already done
C
so i lay in your arms and
G
pretend that it's love
C G
if i was brave and noble like you
i'd have the nerve to just stop
stringin' you along
C Em
but i'm not half as decent as you
i'd rather be tied to someone,
Em
even if they're wrong
Gm
i make excuses, my friends know the truth is
i'm not as alright as i claim
Em Gm
i say that i'm fine, i tell them all the time
D
as they watch all the life fade away
