[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
              Perfect, easy, so good to me
So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
Distract myself, say it's somethin' else
Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused

Barely sleep when you sleep next to me
But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure
I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time
I've never felt so happy and sure

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

I was ravin', no boy like you
I had the nerve to just stop stringin' you all along
But I'm not half as decent as you
I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong

I make excuses, my friends know the truth is
I'm not as alright as I claim
I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time
As they watch all the life fade away

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

I pretend that it's love
I pretend that it's love
I pretend that it's love, love

'Cause what if I never find anything better?
The doubt always creeps through my mind
So we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever
Trade somethin' that's good for what's right?

Oh, I'm so scared of my guitar
It cuts right through 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
I'm so scared of my guitar
When I play it is when I think too hard
I let the thought in, it's already done
But I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
