Gm F C Dm F Gm
■  ■ ■ ■  ■ ■ 
F          Bb    C
Head under water ■
         Dm     
And they tell me
           F          Gm   
To breathe easy for a while
                   F      Bb
The breathing gets harder ■ 
Dm          F   
Even I know that
Gm               Bb
■  Made room for me
             C       Dm 
But it's too soon to see
       F             Gm   
If I'm happy in your hands
    Bb        C            Dm    F
I'm unusually hard to hold on to ■
Gm7              F        Bb   
■   Blank stares at blank pages
        C          Gm7 
No easy way to say this
         F   
You mean well
                  Bb        
But you make this hard on me

Things you wanna hear

And my heavy heart
      Dm        F     Dm7 D7
Sinks deep down under ■   ■ 
Gm                        
You and your twisted words
F              Dm   
Your help just hurts
        F       
You are not what
              Gm  
I thought you were
F        Dm   F      
Hello to high and dry
Gm           Am F         Bb 
■  Convinced me to please you
        C    
Made me think
                 Gm 
That I need this too
Gm7 F                 Bb             
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

Am        
Promise me
Bb                       F     C

Dm               
■  To help me see
Am   Bb          F  C     Dm     
With ■  daylight my guide ■  gone
         A7                Bb 
'cause I believe there's a way
        C                    
You can love me because I say
                    Gm

If your heart is nowhere in it
  C                         
I don't want it for a minute
Dm                           
Babe I'll walk the seven seas
       Gm                   G7          Bb       
When I believe that there's a reason to write you
  C         Gm   
A love song today
