Scared Of My Guitar

	  		Intro G  D  G  Bm7 

Verse 1:
 

G                      D 
Perfect, easy, so good to me 

So why's there a pit in my gut in the shape of you? 
G                              D 
Distract myself, say it's somethin' else 

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

Pre-Chorus

Bm     D7 
Barely sleep when you sleep next to me 
                    Bm7 
But I keep thinkin' I'll find a cure 
                            D7 
I say that I'm fine, I tell you all the time 
                              A 
I've never felt so happy and sure 



     D 
But I'm so scared of my guitar 
           G 
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart 
           D                    Bm7 
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse 
         G              A 
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you 
D 
I'm so scared of my guitar 
      G 
If I play it, then I'll think too hard 
          D 
Once you let the thought in, then it's already done 
     G                                       D 
So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love 

Verse 2:

   G                      D 
If I was brave and noble like you 

I'd have the nerve to just stop stringin' you along 
G                          Bm7 
But I'm not half as decent as you 
                                Bm 
I'd rather be tied to someone, even if they're wrong 

Pre-Chorus

                     D7 
I make excuses, my friends know the truth is 
                              Bm7 
I'm not as alright as I claim 
                             D7 
I say that I'm fine, I tell them all the time 
                                 A 
As they watch all the life fade away 



       D 
Yeah, I'm so scared of my guitar 
           G     D      A7           D7 
'Cause it cuts right through to the heart 
                                 Bm7 
Yeah, it knows me too well so I got no excuse 
         G             D 
I can't lie to it the same way that I lie to you 
    D7               D 
I'm so scared of my guitar 
       G  D         A7             D 
If I play it, then I'll think too hard 
                         D7                  G    D 
Once you let the thought in and then it's already done 

So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love 
         G                                      A    D 
Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love 

Bridge:

G                    D     G D 
I pretend that it's love 
     A 
I pretend that it's love 

I pretend that it's love, love 

Pre-Chorus

       Bm 
'Cause what if I never find anything better? 
     G                              Bm 
The doubt always creeps through my mind 
                            D7 
So we'll stay together 'cause how could I ever 
                        G 
Trade somethin' that's good for what's right? 



     Bm7      G  
Oh, I'm so scared of my guitar 
                Bm 
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 
         G 
I'm so scared of my guitar 

When I play it is when I think too hard 
D                      G 
I let the thought in, it's already done 
                             Bm7 
But I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love 

Yeah, I lay in your arms and pretend it's enough
