Puttin' my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack

C           G                 D
Never put my love out on the line
           Em                C
Never said yes to the right girl
          G                        D
Never had trouble getting what I want
                      Em
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough

C    G        D
When I don't care
      Em
I can play 'em like a Barbie doll
C     G       D
Won't wash my hair
          Em
Then make him bounce like a basketball

C       G                        D
But you make me wanna act like a guy
         Em                       C
Combing hair and wear a tie
          G                D
Yeah, you make me so nervous
                               Em
Then I just can't hold your hand

(pausa)
            C   G   D
You make me glow
             Em
But I cover up
             C  G   D   Em
Won't let it show
       C                   Bm
So I'm puttin' my defenses up
       Em                     G
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
     C (pausa)
If I ever did that
                              C G D Em
I think I'd have a heart attack
                              C G D Em
I think I'd have a heart attack

I think I'd have a heart attack

C            G                   D
Never break a sweat for the other girls
              Em                      C
When you come around, I get paralyzed
         G                     Em
And everytime I try to be myself
             D
It comes out wrong like a cry for help

C    G        D
It's just not fair
       Em                                C
Brings more trouble than it all is worth
  G         D
I gasp for air
            Em                    C
It feels so good, but you know it hurts

C       G                        D
But you make me wanna act like a guy
         Em                   C
Combing hair and wear perfume
          G                D
Yeah, you make me so nervous
                             Em
Then I just can't hold your hand

(PAUSA)

            C   G   D
You make me glow
             Em
But I cover up
             C  G   D   Em

I think I'd have a heart attack
                              C G D Em
I think I'd have a heart attack

I think I'd have a heart attack

Em               D
The feelings got lost in my lungs
                     G
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
              D                    Em
Yeah, there's no one else to blame
               D
So scared I'll take off and run
               G
I'm flying too close to the sun
        D
And I'm busting into flames

            C   G   D
You make me glow
             Em
But I cover up
             C  G   D   Em
Won't let it show
