Love Song

Head (F)under (Bbsus2)water,

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

(Gm)The breathing (F)gets (Bbsus2)harder;

(C)even (Dm)I know (F)that.

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

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

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

(F)If (Dm)all you have is leavin',

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

(C)(Dm)(C)todayay.

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

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

Your (C)help just hurts.

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

(F)(Bbsus2)Hello (C)to (Dm)high and (F)dry.

(Gm)Convinced me (F)to please (Bbsus2)you.

Made me think (C)that I need this,

(D)(Gm)too. I'm tryin' (F)to let you 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 me (Bb)that you'll leave the (F)light on

(Dm)to help me see

(Bb)with daylight my (F)guide, gone.

(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 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 stay.

(F)If your (Bb)heart is nowhere in it,

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