Love Song

[Intro]
F#m A C#m E 2x

[Verse]
F#m         A
head under water
         C#m
and they tell me
            E
to breathe easy for a while
F#m                 A
but breathing gets harder
     C#m       E
even i know that

[Verse]
F#m                A
you made room for me
                     C#m
but it’s too soon to see
       E
if I’m happy in your hands
F#m     A                 C#m     E
im unusually hard to hold on to

[Pre-chorus]
F#m           E
Blank stares at blank pages
A      B
no easy way to say this
F#m          E          
  you mean well, but you
            A
make this hard on me

[Chorus]
                    
  I'm not gonna write
       F#m
you a love song
           B
'cause you asked for it
           E             A
'cause you need one, you see
                    
  I'm not gonna write
       F#m
you a love song
           B
'cause you tell me it's
        E
make or break in this
        A
if you're on your way
              F#m           E
I'm not gonna write you to stay
   C#m                      
  if all you have is leavin'
      F#
Im'a need a better reason
   A               B\            F#m  A
to write you a love song today
C#m   E
Today

[Verse]
F#m            A
I learned the hard way
          C#m
that they all say
E                     F#m
things you wanna hear
         A
My heavy heart
        C#m     E      F#m
sings deep down under you
         A
and your twisted words
     C#m
your help just hurts
        E         
  you were not what
               F#m
i thought you were
A        C#m       E   F#m
hello to high and dry

[Pre-chorus]
            E
convinced me to please you
A            B                 F#m
made me think that i need this too
          E         
  I’m trying to
   A
let you hear me as i am


[Chorus]
                    
  I'm not gonna write
       F#m
you a love song
           B
'cause you asked for it
           E             A
'cause you need one, you see
                    
  I'm not gonna write
       F#m
you a love song
           B
'cause you tell me it's
        E
make or break in this
        A
if you're on your way
              F#m           E
I'm not gonna write you to stay
   C#m                      
  if all you have is leavin'
      F#
Im'a need a better reason
   A           B             C#m
to write you a love song today


[Bridge]
        G#m      A
promise me
                 E     B  C#m
you'll leave the light on
           G#m    A
to help me see
                  E      B    C#m
with daylight, my guide, gone
         G#                 A
'cause i believe there's a way
            B\
you can love me because i say


[Chorus]
                    
  I'm not gonna write

[Outro]
        C#m
if your heart is nowhere in it
        B
i don’t want it for a minute
          C#m  
babe I’ll

walk the seven seas
         F#  
when i believe that

there's a reason
   A              B\ 
  to write you a love
           F#m  A  C#m  E
song today, today

F#m  A  C#m      E~
