[G] [D] [G] [Bm7]
[G]Perfect, easy, so good [D]to me
So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
[G]Distract myself, say it's [D]somethin' else
Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused
[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
I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along
[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
I pretend that it's love, 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
It knows me too well, I got no excuse
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
I'm so [G]scared of my guitar
When I play it is when I think too hard
[D]I let the thought in, [G]it's already done
But I lay in your arms and [Bm7]pretend that it's love
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
