Maybe I'm just

              
 overwhelmed, 

      
maybe I'm conf

used


[Pre-Chorus]
           
Barely sleep w

But I keep thi

you all the ti

[Chorus]
        
But I'm so

'Cause it cuts

        
  right throug

          
h to the heart
             
Yeah, it knows

nk too hard
             
Once you let t

eady done
         
So I lay in yo

[Verse 2]
         
If I was brave

           
 and noble lik

e you
             
I'd have the n

              
erve to just s

              
top 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

 fine, I tell 


them all the t

ime
        
As they watch 

all the light 

fade away


[Chorus]
        
But I'm so    

           
scared of my g

  
uitar
          
'Cause it cuts
