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

Am                    G
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
      F                         Em
But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure
  Am                        G
I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time
       F                     Bm
I've never felt so happy and sure

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

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

Am                  G
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
    F                   Em
I'm not as alright as I claim
  Am                         G
I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time
        F                        Bm
As they watch all the life fade away

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

F Em Dm Bm
Love

                    Em Bm Am
I pretend that it's love
      G
I pretend that it's love
      Dm                  Bm
I pretend that it's love, love

       Am                   G
'Cause what if I never find anything better?
    F                              Em
The doubt always creeps through my mind
   Am                         G
So we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever
      F                                Bm
Trade somethin' that's good for what's right?

    C      Am           G
Oh, I'm so scared of my guitar
   F          Em
It cuts right through to my heart
   C                    G
It knows me too well, I got no excuse
        F                           Em Em Dm C
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you
C      Am           G
I'm so scared of my guitar
       F               Em
When I play it, that's when I think too hard
  C                        Am      C
I let the thought in, it's already done
     F                        Em  Em   Dm   C
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
      F                          Em  Em   Dm C
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
