Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Intro: D Bm G A

Verse:
D              Bm
Perfect, easy, so good to me

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

G                  A
Maybe Iʼm just overwhelmed, maybe Iʼm confused

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

Chorus:
    D      Bm
But Iʼm so scared of my guitar
          G          A
ʼCause it cuts right through to the heart
         D                      Bm
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      Bm
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
Bm
already done
     G                       A
So I lay in your arms and pretend that
     D
itʼs love

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

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

Chorus:
    D      Bm
But Iʼm so scared of my guitar
           G         A
ʼCause it cuts right through to the heart
         D                      Bm
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      Bm
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
Bm
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:
       Bm                   A
ʼCause what if I never find anything better?
    D                              G
The doubt always creeps through my mind
   Bm                         A
So weʼll stay together ʼcause how could I ever
      D
Trade somethinʼ thatʼs good for whatʼs
G
right?

Chorus:
    D      Bm
Oh, Iʼm so scared of my guitar
   G          A
It cuts right through to my heart
   D                    Bm
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      Bm
Iʼm so scared of my guitar
       G               A
When I play it is when I think too hard
D                          Bm
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
