Love Song

Dm         F
head under water
         Am
and they tell me
            C
to breathe easy for a while
Dm                 F
but breathing gets harder
     Am       C
even i know that

Dm                F
you made room for me
                    Am
but its too soon to see
       C
if im happy in your hands
Dm     F                 Am     C
im unusually hard to hold on to


Prechorus:
Dm           Em
blank stares at blank pages
F      Em
no easy way to say this
Dm          Em                    F
you mean well,  but you make this hard on me


Chorus:
                          Dm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
           G
'cause you asked for it
            C            F
'cause you need one, you see
                          Dm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
           G
'cause you tell me it's
         C
make or break in this
        F
if you're on your way
               Dm           C
i'm not gonna write you to stay

Verse:
Dm         F
i learned the hard way
        Am
that they all say
      C
things you wanna hear
Dm                 F
and my heavy heart
     Am       C
sings deep down under you
Dm                F
and your twisted words
                   Am
your help just hurts
       C
you were not what i thought you were
Dm     F     Am     C
hello to high and dry


Prechorus:
Dm           Em

F      Em
