Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

head under water

 and they tell me

 to breathe easy for a while

but breathing gets harder

 even i know that

you made room for me

 but its too soon to see

 if im happy in your hands

im unusually hard to hold on to

Prechorus

blank stares at blank pages

no easy way to say this

you mean well, but you make this hard on me

Chorus

 i'm not gonna write you a love song

 'cause you asked for it

 'cause you need one, you see

 i'm not gonna write you a love song

 'cause you tell me it's

 make or break in this

 if you're on your way

 i'm not gonna write you to stay

 if all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason

 to write you a love song today

Verse 2

Same as verse 1)

i learned the hard way

that they all say

things you wanna hear

and my heavy heart

sings deep down under you

and your twisted words

your help just hurts

you were not what i thought you were

hello to high and dry

Prechorus

convinced me to please you

made me think that i need this too

i'm trying to let you hear me as i am

Chorus

i'm not gonna write you a love song

'cause you asked for it

'cause you need one, you see

i'm not gonna write you a love song

'cause you tell me it's

make or break in this

if your on your way

i'm not gonna write you to stay

if all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason

to write you a love song today

Bridge

promise me

 you'll leave the light on

to help me see

 with daylight, my guide, gone

'cause i believe there's a way

 you can love me because i say

Chorus

i wont write you a love song

'cause you asked for it

'cause you need one you see

i'm not gonna write you a love song

'cause you tell me it's make or break in this

is that why you wanted a love song

'cause you asked for it

'cause you need one you see

im not gonna write you a love song

'cause you tell me it's make or break in this

if your on your way

im not gonna write you to stay

 if your heart is no where in it

 i dont want it for a minute

 babe ill walk the seven seas

 when i believe that there's a reason

 to write you a love song today, today

Hopefully that's a little clearer!!
