Love Song

Gm  Bb  Dm  F


[Verse 1]
Gm           Bb
 Head under water
         Dm
And they tell me
            F
To breathe easy for a while
Gm                   Bb
 But breathing gets harder
     Dm       F
Even I know that
Gm                 Bb
 You made room for me
                     Dm
But it's too soon to see
       F
If I'm happy in your hands
Gm          Bb              Dm     F
 I'm unusually hard to hold on to


[Pre-Chorus]
Gm              Am
 Blank stares at  blank pages
Bb        C
 No easy way to say this
Gm            Am                   Bb
 You mean well,  but you make this hard on me


[Chorus]
                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           C
Cause you asked for it
           F/A           Bb
Cause you need one, you see
                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           C
Cause you tell me it's
         F/A
Make or break in this
          Bb
If you're on your way
               Gm           Am
I'm not gonna write you to stay
   Dm                           G/B
If all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason
   Bb            C          Gm  Bb  Dm  F
To write you a love song today,   today, yeah


[Verse 2]
Gm              Bb
 I learned the hard way
          Dm
That they all say
F
Things you wanna hear
Gm             Bb
 And my heavy heart
      Dm        F
Sings deep down under you
Gm               Bb
And your twisted words
               Dm
Your help just hurts
         F                        Gm
You were not what I thought you were
   Bb    Dm        F
Hello to high and dry


[Pre-Chorus]
Gm           Am
 Convinced me  to please you
Bb            C
 Made me think that I need this too
Gm         Am           Bb
 I'm trying  to let you hear me as I am


[Chorus]
                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           C
Cause you asked for it
           F/A           Bb
Cause you need one, you see
                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           C
Cause you tell me it's
         F/A
Make or break in this
          Bb
If you're on your way
               Gm           Am
I'm not gonna write you to stay
   Dm                           G/B
If all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason
   Bb            C           Dm
To write you a love song today


[Bridge]
   Am      Bb
Promise me
                 F     C
You'll leave the light on
Dm           Am      Bb
  To help me see
                  F      C
With daylight, my guide, gone
Dm            A             Bb
  Cause I believe there's a way
        C
You can love me because I say


[Chorus]
                     Gm
I won't write you a love song
           C
Cause you asked for it
           F/A           Bb
Cause you need one, you see
                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           C
Cause you tell me it's
         F/A
Make or break in this
   Bb                    Gm
Is that why you wanted a love song?
           C
Cause you asked for it
          F/A           Bb
Cause you need one, you see
                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           C
Cause you tell me it's
         F/A
Make or break in this
          Bb
If you're on your way
               Gm           Am
I'm not gonna write you to stay
        Bb
If your heart is no where in it
        C
I don't want it for a minute
          Dm
Babe I'll walk the seven seas
         G/B
When I believe that there's a reason
   Bb          C            Gm  Bb  Dm  F
To write you a love song today,   today
