Perfect, easy,

So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you?
             
Distract mysel

methin' else

Maybe I'm just overwhelmed, maybe I'm confused


[Pre-Chorus]
     
Barely sleep w

hen you sleep 

next to me
              
But I keep thi

      
nkin' I'll fin

d a cure

 fine, I tell 


you all the ti

[Chorus]
     
But I'm so sca

red of my guit

ar
           
'Cause it cuts

 right through

 to the heart
             
Yeah, it knows

              
 me too well s

ay that I lie 

to you

I'm so scared 

of my guitar
      
If I play it, 

then I'll thin

k too hard
          
Once you let t

he thought in,

 then it's alr

eady done
             
So I lay in yo

              
ur arms and pr

[Verse 2]
             
If I was brave

            
 and noble lik

e you

I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along
             
But I'm not ha

             
lf as decent a


s you
              
I'd rather be 

              
tied to someon

    
e, even if the

y're wrong


[Pre-Chorus]
              
I make excuses

       
, my friends k

now the truth 

is
              
I'm not as alr

              
ight as I clai

  
m
              
I say that I'm

              
 fine, I tell 

 
them all the t

ime
              
As they watch 

              
all the life f

     
ade away


[Chorus]
       
Yeah, I'm so s

cared of my gu

itar

 right through

         
 to the heart
              
Yeah, it knows

              
 me too well s

     
o I got no exc

I'm so scared

If I play it, 

            
then I'll thin

       
k too hard
              
Once you let t

           
he 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


[Bridge]
             
I pretend that

             
 it's love
     
I pretend that

I pretend that it's love, love


[Pre-Chorus]
       
'Cause what if

 I never find

The doubt alwa

ugh my mind
              
So we'll stay 

              
together 'caus


e how could I 

ever
              
Trade somethin

[Chorus]
          
Oh, I'm so sca


red of my guit

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
         
I'm so scared 

of my guitar

When I play it is when I think too hard
             
I let the thou
