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
