_ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _
_ [Gm] _ [F] Head underwater, _ [C]
[Dm] and you tell me [C] to [F] breathe easy for [Gbm] a [Gm] while
The [F] breathing gets harder, [C] even [Dm] I [C] know [F] that
[Gbm] You [Gm] _ made [F] room for me, but it's too [Dm] smooth to see
_ [F] If I'm happy in [Gb] your [Gm]
head
I'm [F] _ unusually hard [Dm] to hold on to
_ [F] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ [Gm] _
Black stares [F] at blank pages
[Bb] _
No easy [C] way to say [Gbm] [Gm] this

If [Bb] you're on your [Gb] way [Gm] _
_ _ [F] to stay
If [Dm]
all you have is leaving, [G] I'm gonna need a better reason
[F] I'll write you [C] a love song [Gm]
