Love Song

[Intro]
Bm D F#m A 2x

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

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

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

[Chorus]
                    
  I'm not gonna write

you a love song
           E
'cause you tell me it's
        A
make or break in this

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

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

           C#m    D
to help me see
                  A      E    F#m
with daylight, my guide, gone
