G,E,C x2
G
Oh baby, baby please
E C
I feel an urgent need to apologize
G E
I did a terrible thing in a terrible dream
C
And now I can't look you in the eye
It started:
G
We were out on a date
E
When you turned to say,
C
"I gotta tell you something odd
G
I know I said we'd get married
E
But I'm already married"
C
And that's when you laughed so hard
E
So I turned and swung
Bm
Woke up in a shock
C D
Nails digging blood from the base of my palms
C D
Because people are so fickle
G E
They fall in love at different angles
C G D
So really I could lose you just as quickly as I've gotten you
C D
And that's the kind of thought that makes me nervous
G E
And worried if you'll really think I'm worth it
C D G E
When the rush wears off and you're left with this busted person
C D G E
But if you tell me you will I will do what I can to believe it
G,E,C x2
G
So baby all the things that I've seen
E
Last night while asleep
C
This morning, they're messing with me
G
And now I'm anxious as hell
E
And looking for help
C
Something pleasant and painless
Some story to tell
G
With a throughline of calm
Bm D
That could stop me from being myself
C D
'Cause all I think is how I wanna be your fever
G E
Just to know I make you heated
C G D
'Cause I worry you might see me more like a blanket
C D
Who's there for comfort and for cover
G E
From the glare of former lovers
C D G
E
All that passion that kissed you and bit you 'til you were devoured
C D G E
And I'd like to get better 'cause thinking like this is torture
G,E,C x2 D
C G
And if I can't stop it you'll get sick of bearing crosses
Dsus4(add9) E
And you'll jump to cut your losses
C G
You'll go get quarantined somewhere far from me
D
Where it's much less dangerous
C D
But maybe if I wake up and quit dreaming
G E
I can shake and shit I'm fearing
C D E G
And I can realize I'm just freaking out for no good reason
I'll tell you what:
C D
E
If that's a line I can cross, once I get there, I'm not ever leaving
C G
Bm Dsus(add9)
