A    E                        C#m
I am selfish, I am holding my breath
A                    E
Biting my tongue and hedging boyish bets
A                         E                     C#m
I'm not speechless, just afraid of what I could lose
A                         E
So I'm just staring at my shoes
A                        E                  C#m
I'm filling space on the floor next to your bed
A                      E
Where I'll fall asleep grasping at your hand
A                           E                      C#m
I'm filled with words that always seem to come too soon
A                           E
And I'm still staring at my shoes

[Verse 2]
          E
Sometimes love can feel a lot like fear
A         E
Sometimes I can't find the words you need to hear
    A            E                          C#m
And if I have to choose, I'll always choose you
A                E
Though I'm still staring at my shoes
