Love Song

Head (F)under (Dm)water, and (C)they (F)tell me to (C)breathe easy for a (D)while.

(Bbsus2)The breathing (F)gets (Dm)harder, (C)even (F)I know (D)that.

(Bbsus2)Made room (F)for (Dm)me.

It's too soon (C)to (F)see if (C)I'm happy in your (D)hands.

(Bbsus2)I'm (F)unusu'lly hard (C)to (Dm)hold (F)on (D)to.

(Gm)Blank stares at (F)blank pages.

(Bbsus2)No easy way to say (D)this.

(Gm)You mean well (F)but you make this hard on me.

I'm not gonna write you a (Gm)love song 'cause you ask for it,

'cause you need one.

You see, I'm not gonna write (D)you a (Gm)love song 'cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this.

If you're on your way, (D)I'm not gonna (Gm)write you to (F)stay.

If (Dm)all you have is leavin',

I'm gonna (G7)need a better reason to write you a love song today,

(C)to (Dm)(F)dayay.

(Bbsus2)I learned (F)the (Dm)hard way that (C)they (F)all say things you wanna (D)hear.

(Bbsus2)And my (F)heavy (Dm)heart sinks (F)deep down (D)under (Gm)(Bbsus2)you and your (F)twisted (Dm)words.

Your help (C)just (F)hurts.

You (C)are not what I thought (D)you were.

(F)(Dm)Hello (C)to (F)high and (D)dry.

(Gm)Convinced me (F)to please you.

(Bbsus2)Made me think (C)that I need this,

(D)too. (Gm)I'm tryin' (F)to let you (Bbsus2)hear me as I am.

I'm not gonna write you a (Dm)all you have is leavin',

I'm gonna (G7)need a better reason to write you a love song today.

Promise (Am)me

(Bb)you'll leave the (C)light on

(Dm)to help me (Am)see

(Bb)the daylight.

My (F)guide, come (C)on.

(Dm)'Cause I believe there's a way you can (C)love me,

because I say I won't write you a (D)love song 'cause you ask for it,

'cause you need one.

You see, I'm not gonna write you a (Gm)love song 'cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this.

Is (Bbsus2)that why you wanted (D)a (Gm)love song 'cause you ask for it,

'cause you need one?

You see, I'm not gonna write (D)you a (Gm)love song 'cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this.

If you're on your way, (D)I'm not gonna (Gm)write you to (F)stay.

If your (Bb)heart is nowhere in it,

I don't (C)want it for a minute.
