G , E , C x2
G
oh baby , baby please
E C
i feel an urgent need to apologize
G E
i did a terrible thing in a terrible dream
C
and now i can’t look you in the eye

it started :
G
we were out on a date
E
when you turned to say ,
C
“i gotta tell you something odd
G
i know i said we’d get married
E
but i’m already married”
C
and that’s when you laughed so hard

E
so i turned and swung
Bm
woke up in a shock
C D
nails digging blood from the base of my palms

C D
because people are so fickle
G E
they fall in love at different angles
C G D
so really i could lose you just as quickly as i’ve gotten you
C D
and that’s the kind of thought that makes me nervous
G E
and worried if you’ll really think i’m worth it
C D G E
when the rush wears off and you’re left with this busted person
C D G E
but if you tell me you will i will do what i can to believe it

G , E , C x2

G
so baby all the things that i’ve seen
E
last night while asleep
C
this morning , they’re messing with me
G
and now i’m anxious as hell
E
and looking for help
C
something pleasant and painless

some story to tell
G
with a throughline of calm
Bm D
that could stop me from being myself

C D
’cause all i think is how i wanna be your fever
G E
just to know i make you heated
C G D
’cause i worry you might see me more like a blanket
C D
who’s there for comfort and for cover
G E
from the glare of former lovers
C D G
E
all that passion that kissed you and bit you ’til you were devoured
C D G E
and i’d like to get better ’cause thinking like this is torture

G , E , C x2 D

C G
and if i can’t stop it you’ll get sick of bearing crosses
Dsus4 ( add9 ) E
and you’ll jump to cut your losses
C G
you’ll go get quarantined somewhere far from me
D
where it’s much less dangerous
C D
but maybe if i wake up and quit dreaming
G E
i can shake and shit i’m fearing
C D E G
and i can realize i’m just freaking out for no good reason

i’ll tell you what :
C D
E
if that’s a line i can cross , once i get there , i’m not ever leaving

C G
