Love Song

[Intro]
Em G Bm D 2x

[Verse]
Em         G
head under water
         Bm
and they tell me

to breathe easy for a while
Em                 G
but breathing gets harder
     Bm       D
even i know that

[Verse]
Em                G
you made room for me
                     Bm
but it’s too soon to see
       D
if I’m happy in your hands
Em     G                 Bm     D
im unusually hard to hold on to

[Pre-chorus]
Em           D
Blank stares at blank pages
G      A
no easy way to say this
Em          D          
  you mean well, but you

I learned the hard way

that they all say

things you wanna hear
         G
My heavy heart
        Bm     D      Em
sings deep down under you
         G
and your twisted words
     Bm
your help just hurts

  you were not what
               Em
i thought you were
G        Bm       D   Em
hello to high and dry

[Pre-chorus]
