Gm     Bb
Head under water
   Dm           F
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
Gm         Bb      Dm   F
The breathing gets harder, even I know that

Made room for me but it's too soon to see
    F
If I'm happy in your hands
Gm     Bb       Dm   F
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Gm       Am
Blank stares at blank pages
Bb       Am
No easy way to say this
Gm     Am          Bb
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song

Verse 2:
Gm      Bb
I learned the hard way
     Dm   F
That they all say things you want to hear
Gm      Bb     Dm    F
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
  Gm
Your twisted words
Bb
Your help just hurts
Dm   F            Gm
You are not what I thought you were
Bb    Dm    F
Hello to high and dry
Gm     Am
Convinced me to please you
Bb      Am
Made me think that I need this too
Gm     Am     Bb
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

  Promise me that you'll leave the light on
Dm Am   Bb  F         C
  To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
Dm    A        Bb     C
Cause I believe there's a way you can love me

Because I say
