Love Song

[Intro]
C#m E G#m B 2x

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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


[Chorus]
                    
  I'm not gonna write

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

walk the seven seas
         C#  
when i believe that

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

C#m  E  G#m      B~
