scared of my guitar

[Intro]
G D G Bm7

[Verse 1]
G D
Perfect, easy, so good to me

So why’s there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
G D
Distract myself, say it’s somethin’ else
N.C.
Maybe I’m just overwhelmed, maybe I’m confused

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm Dm7
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
Bm7
But I keep thinkin’ I’ll find a cure
Dm7
I say that I’m fine, I tell you all the time
A
I’ve never felt so happy and sure

[Chorus]
D
But I’m so scared of my guitar
G
‘Cause it cuts right through to the heart
D Bm7
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
G A
I can’t lie to it the same way that I lie to you
D
I’m so scared of my guitar
G
If I play it, then I’ll think too hard
D
Once you let the thought in, then it’s already done
G D
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it’s love

[Verse 2]
G D
If I was brave and noble like you

I’d have the nerve to just stop stringin’ you along
G Bm7
But I’m not half as decent as you
Bm
I’d rather be tied to someone, even if they’re wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
Bm7
I’m not as alright as I claim
Dm7
I say that I’m fine, I tell them all the time
A
As they watch all the life fade away

[Chorus]
D
Yeah, I’m so scared of my guitar
G D A7 Dm7
‘Cause it cuts right through to the heart
Bm7
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse
G D
I can’t lie to it the same way that I lie to you
Dm7 D
I’m so scared of my guitar
G D A7 D
If I play it, then I’ll think too hard
Dm7 G D
Once you let the thought in and then it’s already done

So I lay in your arms and pretend that it’s love
G A D
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that it’s love

[Bridge]
G D G D
I pretend that it’s love
A
I pretend that it’s love
N.C.
I pretend that it’s love, love

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
‘Cause what if I never find anything better?
G Bm
The doubt always creeps through my mind
Dm7
So we’ll stay together ‘cause how could I ever
G
Trade somethin’ that’s good for what’s right?

[Chorus]
Bm7 G
Oh, I’m so scared of my guitar
Bm
It cuts right through to my heart

It knows me too well, I got no excuse

I can’t lie to it the same way that I lie to you
G
I’m so scared of my guitar

When I play it is when I think too hard
D G
I let the thought in, it’s already done
Bm7
But I lay in your arms and pretend that it’s love
N.C.
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it’s enough
