Love Song

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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


[Chorus]
                    
  I'm not gonna write
       D#m
you a love song
           G#

       D#m
you a love song
           G#

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

walk the seven seas
         D#  
when i believe that

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

D#m  F#  A#m      C#~
