[Intro]
G D G D

[Verse 1]
G                           
Perfect, easy, so good to me
D                                                  
So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
G                                       
Distract myself, say it's somethin' else
D                                             
Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7                    A              
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
      G                          D  
But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure
Bm7                          A              
I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time
       G                         
I've never felt so happy and sure

[Chorus]
     D       G            D   
But I'm so scared of my guitar
           Bm7          A             D  
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
           D                      G       D   
Yeah, it knows me too well, so I got no excuse
        Bm7            A            Em        D 
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
 D       G            D   
I'm so scared of my guitar
     Bm7            A              D  
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
          D                               G     D  
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
        Bm7          A         Em               D  
So I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love

[Verse 2]
   G                             
If I was brave and noble like you
D                                                  
I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along
     G                           
But I'm not half as decent as you
D                                                   
I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7                  A                      
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
    G                     D  
I'm not as alright as I claim
  Bm7                         A              
I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time
         G                           
As they watch all the light fade away

[Chorus]
     D       G            D   
But I'm so scared of my guitar
           Bm7          A             D  
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
           D                      G       D   
Yeah, it knows me too well, so I got no excuse
        Bm7            A            Em        D 
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
 D       G            D   
I'm so scared of my guitar
     Bm7            A              D  
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
          D                               G     D  
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
        Bm7          A         Em               D  
So I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
           Bm7          A          Em             Bm7 G
Yeah, I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love

[Bridge]
D                    Bm7ADBm7
I pretend that it's love
     A               D  
I pretend that it's love
    Bm7                    A  D
I pretend that it's love, love

[Pre-Chorus]
       Bm7                      A           
'Cause what if I never find anything better?
      G                             D  
The doubt always creeps through my mind
    Bm7                         A              
So we'll stay together 'cause, how could I ever
         G                                   
Trade somethin' that's good for what's right?

[Chorus]
     D       G            D   
But I'm so scared of my guitar
           Bm7          A             D  
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart
           D                      G       D   
Yeah, it knows me too well, so I got no excuse
        Bm7            A            Em        D 
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
 D       G            D   
I'm so scared of my guitar
     Bm7            A              D  
If I play it, then I'll think too hard
          D                               G     D  
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done
        Bm7          A         Em               D  
So I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
        Bm7             A         Em            D  
Yeah, I'll lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
