* means one strum
[Intro]
D Bm G A
[Verse 1]
D BmPerfect, easy, so good to me
G A*So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
D BmDistract myself, say it's somethin' else
G A*Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm ABarely sleep when you sleep next to me
D GBut I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure
Bm AI say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time
D GI've never felt so happy and sure
[Chorus]
D BmBut I'm so scared of my guitar
G A'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
D BmYeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
G AI can't lie to it the same way that I lie
Dto you
D BmI'm so scared of my guitar
G AIf I play it, then I'll think too hard
DOnce you let the thought in, then it's
Bmalready done
G ASo I lay in your arms and pretend that
Dit's love
[Verse 2]
D BmIf I was brave and noble like you
G A*I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along
D BmBut I'm not half as decent as you
G A*I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm AI make excuses, my friends know the truth is
D GI'm not as alright as I claim
Bm AI say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time
D GAs they watch all the life fade away
[Chorus]
D BmBut I'm so scared of my guitar
G A'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
D BmYeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
G AI can't lie to it the same way that I lie
Dto you
D BmI'm so scared of my guitar
G AIf I play it, then I'll think too hard
DOnce you let the thought in, then it's
Bmalready done
G ASo I lay in your arms and pretend that
Dit's love
G AYeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that
Dit's love
[Bridge]
G D G DI pretend that it's love
AI pretend that it's love
I pretend that it's love, love
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A'Cause what if I never find anything better?
D GThe doubt always creeps through my mind
Bm ASo we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever
DTrade somethin' that's good for what's
Gright?
[Chorus]
D BmOh, I'm so scared of my guitar
G AIt cuts right through to my heart
D BmIt knows me too well, I got no excuse
G AI can't lie to it the same way that I lie
Dto you
D BmI'm so scared of my guitar
G AWhen I play it is when I think too hard
D BmI let the thought in, it's already done
G ABut I lay in your arms and pretend that
Dit's love
G AYeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's
