Um, It's Kind Of A Lot

[Intro]
G  Bm  C  D7  G  D7 C#7 D7
 
[Verse 1]
G
I’m afraid of leaving my house
G
I’m afraid of dying of cancer
              Gmaj7   G7                       C
I’m afraid of black sedans, white vans and computers
G
I’m afraid of losing my mind
G
I’m afraid of windows and airplanes
                Edim7                Am  D7 C#7 D7
I’m afraid of my past, my fans and my future
 
[Verse 2]
         Am                             D7    C#7  D7
But I’ve never been afraid of someone breaking my heart,
     Am                                 D7   C#7     D7
Not like I’m bout to fall and cut my throat with the shards
     Em             E7             Am
And I’m afraid of damn near everything
F                 B7
All my life’s a panic trip
  Edim7          B7
A rocket ship to planet schizoid
     Em     Emmaj7  Em7  Em6
And hold me like a tourniquet and
A7               B7
I’ll you like an iron maiden
A7
I’ve grown used to fear
    D
But no, not to you yet my dear, oh
 
[Chorus]
G              Bm                C       G
I love you so much it scares me half to death
C                G                 D
I’m not used to this, how did it happen, baby?
G             Bm             C        G
I love you so much it scares me half to death
C                 G                    D      D7
The other half I guess I'm giving to you, oh baby
 
[Verse 3]
G
I’m afraid that you’ll change your mind
G
I’m afraid there’s somebody better
              Gmaj7        G7                   C       C7
I’m afraid of four-letter words like love, for and ever (or whatever...)
   G
I’m afraid you’ll notice all my flaws
G
I’m afraid you already have (Obviously)
                             Edim7                          Am        D7
I’m afraid I’ll come on too strong, hold you too tight and scare you too
 
[Verse 4]
          Am                           D7
But I’ve never been afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve
    Am                                 D7
At least to prove I’m weak and if you cut me I bleed
    Em               E7              Am
So could you be the light my X-rays need
F              B7
All my life’s a Duchovny role, oh
Edim7       B7
Gillian, you won’t believe this
Em    Emmaj7     Em7        Em6        A7
Spit me out you don’t know where I’ve been
            B7
Hold me at claw’s length baby
A7                       D
I’m not used to fear of losing something I hold dear
 
[Chorus]
G              Bm                C       G
I love you so much it scares me half to death
C                G                 D
I’m not used to this, how did it happen, baby?
G             Bm             C        G
I love you so much it scares me half to death
C                 G                    D      D7  G
The other half I guess I'm giving to you, oh baby
 
[Bridge]
       Em                E7             Am
I’ll twist my words, a clever turn of phrase
F                 B7              Edim7            B7
Sorry, darling, please excuse my constant need to self-aggrandize
Em  Emmaj7  Em7   Em6
Coddling my narcissism
A7           B7
M.A.D. come ride my A-bomb
Em               E7          Am
While I beg you to say I’m okay
          F               B7              Edim7               B7
So here’s one last lyric to sum up these thoughts I struggled to come up with
Em    Emmaj7     Em7       Em6       A7            B7
To make me sound deep and smart and then I promise I’ll shut up, wait
A7                                  D7
Let me think, hold on, I got this, anything but I’m in love with you
 
[Chorus]
G              Bm                C       G
I love you so much it scares me half to death
C                G                  D
I’m not used to this, how did this happen, baby?
G             Bm             C        G
I love you so much it scares me half to death
C                 G                    D      D7
The other half I guess I'm giving to you, oh baby
