* means one strum
Intro
[G] [D] [G] [Bm7]
Verse 1
[G] [D]
Perfect, easy, so good to me
So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
[G] [D]
Distract myself, say it's somethin' else
Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused
Pre-Chorus
[Bm] [Dm7]
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
[Bm7]
But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure
[Dm7]
I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time
[A]
I've never felt so happy and sure
Chorus
[D]
But I'm so scared of my guitar
[G]
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
[D] [Bm7]
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
[G] [A]
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
[D]
I'm so scared of my guitar
[G]
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
[D]
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
[G] [D]
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Verse 2
[G] [D]
If I was brave and noble like you
I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along
[G] [Bm7]
But I'm not half as decent as you
[Bm]
I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong
Pre-Chorus
[Dm7]
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
[Bm7]
I'm not as alright as I claim
[Dm7]
I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time
[A]
As they watch all the life fade away
Chorus
[D]
Yeah, I'm so scared of my guitar
[G] [D] [A7] [Dm7]
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
[Bm7]
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
[G] [D]
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
[Dm7] [D]
I'm so scared of my guitar
[G] [D] [A7] [D]
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
[Dm7] [G] [D]
Once you let the thought in and then it's already done
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
[G] [A] [D]
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Bridge
[G] [D] [G] [D]
I pretend that it's love
[A]
I pretend that it's love
I pretend that it's love, love
Pre-Chorus
[Bm]
'Cause what if I never find anything better?
[G] [Bm]
The doubt always creeps through my mind
[Dm7]
So we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever
[G]
Trade somethin' that's good for what's right?
Chorus
[Bm7]* [G]*
Oh, I'm so scared of my guitar
[Bm]
It cuts right through to my heart
It knows me too well, I got no excuse
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
[G]
I'm so scared of my guitar
When I play it is when I think too hard
[D] [G]
I let the thought in, it's already done
[Bm7]
But I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
