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