Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Intro: D# Cm G# A#

Verse:
D#              Cm
Perfect, easy, so good to me

   G#                       A#
So whyʼs there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
D#                Cm
Distract myself, say itʼs somethinʼ else

G#                  A#
Maybe Iʼm just overwhelmed, maybe Iʼm confused

Pre-chorus:
Cm                    A#
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
           D#                    G#
But I keep thinkinʼ Iʼll find a cure
  Cm                        A#
I say that Iʼm fine, I tell you all the time
       D#                     G#
Iʼve never felt so happy and sure

Chorus:
    D#      Cm
But Iʼm so scared of my guitar
          G#          A#
ʼCause it cuts right through to the heart
         D#                      Cm
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
        G#                           A#
I canʼt lie to it the same way that I lie
   D#
to you
D#      Cm
Iʼm so scared of my guitar
     G#             A#
If I play it, then Iʼll think too hard
         D#
Once you let the thought in, then itʼs
Cm
already done
     G#                       A#
So I lay in your arms and pretend that
     D#
itʼs love

Verse:
   D#               Cm
If I was brave and noble like you
G#                          A#
Iʼd have the nerve to just stop stringinʼ you along
D#                   Cm
But Iʼm not half as decent as you
    G#                     A#
Iʼd rather be tied to someone, even if theyʼre wrong

Pre-chorus:
Cm                 A#
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
    D#                   G#
Iʼm not as alright as I claim
Cm                          A#
I say that Iʼm fine, I tell them all the time
        D#                        G#
As they watch all the life fade away

Chorus:
    D#      Cm
But Iʼm so scared of my guitar
           G#         A#
ʼCause it cuts right through to the heart
         D#                      Cm
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
         G#                          A#
I canʼt lie to it the same way that I lie
   D#
to you
D#      Cm
Iʼm so scared of my guitar
     G#             A#
If I play it, then Iʼll think too hard
         D#
Once you let the thought in, then itʼs
Cm
already done
     G#                       A#
So I lay in your arms and pretend that
     D#
itʼs love
        G#                       A#
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that
     D#
itʼs love

Bridge:
G#                    D#     G# D#
I pretend that itʼs love
     A#
I pretend that itʼs love

I pretend that itʼs love, love

Pre-chorus:
       Cm                   A#
ʼCause what if I never find anything better?
    D#                              G#
The doubt always creeps through my mind
   Cm                         A#
So weʼll stay together ʼcause how could I ever
      D#
Trade somethinʼ thatʼs good for whatʼs
G#
right?

Chorus:
    D#      Cm
Oh, Iʼm so scared of my guitar
   G#          A#
It cuts right through to my heart
   D#                    Cm
It knows me too well, I got no excuse
        G#                           A#
I canʼt lie to it the same way that I lie
   D#
to you
D#      Cm
Iʼm so scared of my guitar
       G#               A#
When I play it is when I think too hard
D#                          Cm
I let the thought in, itʼs already done
      G#                       A#
But I lay in your arms and pretend that
     D#
itʼs love
        G#                       A#
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend itʼs
 D#
enough
