[F] [C]
[Dm] [F]
[D] [Gm] Head [F] underwater, [Dm] and you tell me [F] to breathe easy for [D] a [Gm] while
[F] Breathing gets harder, [Dm] even I [F] know that
[Gm] [F] Made room for me, but it's too [Dm] soon you'll see
[F] If I'm happy in [Gbm] your [Gm] hands
I'm [F] unusually hard [Dm] to hold on to
[F]
[Gm] Blank stares [F] at blank [Bb] pages
No [C] easy way to say [Gm] this
You [F] mean well, but you make this hard on me
[Bb] I'm not gonna [Gm] write you a love song
[C] Could you ask for it?
[F] Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna [Gm]
write you a love song
[C] Cause you tell me it's [F] made for breaking this
If you're on it, [Gm] I'm not gonna write you [F] a stay
[Dm] All you have is [G] leaving underneath a bed of [Bb] reasons to write you
[C] A love song
[Gm] today
[Dm]
Today
[F]
I [F] learned the hard way
That [Dm] they all say
Things you wanna [Gm] hear
My [F] heavy heart
[Dm] Sinks deep down under
[Gm] you
And your [F] twisted words
[Dm] Your help just hurts
[F] You are not what I thought [Gm] you were
[F] Hello
[Dm] To high [F] and dry
[Gm] Convinced [F] me to please [Bb] you
Made me [C] think that I [Gm] need this too
I'm [F] trying to let [Bb] you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna [Gm] write you a love song
Could [C] you ask for it?
Cause [F] you need one, [Bb] you see
I'm not gonna write [Gm] you a love song
Cause [C] you tell me it's made [F] for breaking this
If you're on [Gm] it, I'm not gonna write you [F] a stay
[Dm] All you have is leaving [G] underneath a bed of reasons [Bb] to write you
[C] A love song [Dm] today
[Am] Promise me
[Bb] You'll leave [F] the [C] light on
[Dm] To help [Am] me see
[Bb] They light [C] my life on
[Dm] Cause I [A] believe there's [Bb] a way
You [C] can love me because I say
I won't write you [Gm] a love song
Cause [C] you ask for it
Cause you [F] need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you [Gm] a love song
Cause you [C] tell me it's made for [F] breaking this
Is that why you [Gm] wanted a love song?
Cause you [C] asked for it
Cause you [F] need one, you [Bb] see
I'm not gonna write [Gm] you a love song
Cause you [C] tell me it's made for [F] breaking this
If [Bb] you're on it, I'm not [Gm] gonna write you a [F] stay
[Bb] Your heart is nowhere in it
I [C] don't want it for a minute, babe
[Dm] I walked the 70's when I [G] believed that there's a reason to [Bb] write you
[C] A love song [Gm] today
