Scared of my guitar

[G] [D] [G] [Bm7]

[G]Perfect, easy, so good [D]to me

 

[G]Distract myself, say it's [D]somethin' else

 

[Bm]Barely [Dm7]sleep when you sleep next to me

But I keep thinkin' [Bm]I'll find a cure

I say that I'm fine, I tell [Dm]you all the time

I've never felt so happy and [A]sure

 

But [D]I'm so scared of my guitar

'Cause it [G]cuts right through to the heart

Yeah, it [D]knows me too well so I got no excuse

I can't [G]lie to it the [A]same way that I lie to you

[D]I'm so scared of my guitar

If I [G]play it, then I'll think too hard

Once you [D]let the thought in, then it's already done

So I [G]lay in your arms and pretend that it's [D]love

 

If [G]I was brave and noble [D]like you

 

[G]But I'm not half as decent [Bm7]as you

I'd rather be tied to someone, [Bm]even if they're wrong

 

And make excuses, my [Dm7]friends know the truth is

I'm not as alright as I [Bm7]claim

Say that I'm fine, I tell [Dm7]them all the time

As they watch all the light fade [A]away

 

Yeah, [D]I'm so scared of my guitar

'Cause it [G]cuts [D]right [A7]through to the [Dm7]heart

Yeah, it knows me too well so I [Bm7]got no excuse

I can't [G]lie to it the [D]same way that I lie to you

I'm [Dm7]so scared of my [D]guitar

If I [G]play [D]it, then [A7]I'll think too [D]hard

Once you let the thought [Dm7]in, then it's [G]already [D]done

So I [G]lay in your arms and pretend that it's [A]love[D]

Yeah, I [G]lay in your arms and pretend that it's [A]love[D]

 

[G]I pretend that it's [D]love[G] [D]

I [A]pretend that it's love

 

'Cause [Bm]what if I never find anything better?

The [G]doubt always creeps through my [Bm]mind

So we'll stay together 'cause [Dm7]how could I ever

Trade somethin' that's [G]good for what's right?

 

Oh, [Bm7]I'm so [G]scared of my guitar

It cuts right [Bm]through to my heart

 

I'm so [G]scared of my guitar

 

[D]I let the thought in, [G]it's already done

But I lay in your arms and [Bm7]pretend that it's love
