[Intro:]
D Bm G A
D Bm
Perfect, easy, so good to me
G A
So whyʼs there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
D Bm
Distract myself, say itʼs somethinʼ else
G A
Maybe Iʼm just overwhelmed, maybe Iʼm confused
[Pre Reff:]
Bm A
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
D G
But I keep thinkinʼ Iʼll find a cure
Bm A
I say that Iʼm fine, I tell you all the time
D G
Iʼve never felt so happy and sure
[Reff:]
D Bm
But Iʼm so scared of my guitar
G A
ʼCause it cuts right through to the heart
D Bm
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
G A
I canʼt lie to it the same way that I lie
D
to you
D Bm
Iʼm so scared of my guitar
G A
If I play it, then Iʼll think too hard
D
Once you let the thought in, then itʼs
Bm
already done
G A
So I lay in your arms and pretend that
D
itʼs love
D Bm
If I was brave and noble like you
G A
Iʼd have the nerve to just stop stringinʼ you along
D Bm
But Iʼm not half as decent as you
G A
Iʼd rather be tied to someone, even if theyʼre wrong
[Pre Reff:]
Bm A
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
D G
Iʼm not as alright as I claim
Bm A
I say that Iʼm fine, I tell them all the time
D G
As they watch all the life fade away
[Reff:]
D Bm
But Iʼm so scared of my guitar
G A
ʼCause it cuts right through to the heart
D Bm
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
G A
I canʼt lie to it the same way that I lie
D
to you
D Bm
Iʼm so scared of my guitar
G A
If I play it, then Iʼll think too hard
D
Once you let the thought in, then itʼs
Bm
already done
G A
So I lay in your arms and pretend that
D
itʼs love
G A
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that
D
itʼs love
[Bridge:]
G D G D
I pretend that itʼs love
A
I pretend that itʼs love
I pretend that itʼs love, love
Pre-chorus:
Bm A
ʼCause what if I never find anything better?
D G
The doubt always creeps through my mind
Bm A
So weʼll stay together ʼcause how could I ever
D
Trade somethinʼ thatʼs good for whatʼs
G
right?
[Reff:]
D Bm
Oh, Iʼm so scared of my guitar
G A
It cuts right through to my heart
D Bm
It knows me too well, I got no excuse
G A
I canʼt lie to it the same way that I lie
D
to you
D Bm
Iʼm so scared of my guitar
G A
When I play it is when I think too hard
D Bm
I let the thought in, itʼs already done
G A
But I lay in your arms and pretend that
D
itʼs love
G A
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend itʼs
D
enough
