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!!
