Intro: Gm  Bb  Dm  F

Gm            Bb
  Head under water 
         Dm
And you tell me 
            F
To breathe easy for awhile 
Gm                  Bb
 The breathing gets harder 
     Dm       F
Even I know that 
Gm              Bb
  Made room for me 
                 Dm
It's too soon to see 
        F
If I'm happy in your hands 
Gm           Bb              Dm    F
  I'm unusually hard to hold on to 


Gm          F/A
 Blank stares at blank pages 
Bb        C
 No easy way to say this 
Gm                F/A             Bb
 You mean well but you make this hard on me 


                           Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song 
           C
Cause you ask for it 
           F
Cause you need one 
     Bb                             Gm
You see, I'm not gonna write you a long song 
           C                     F
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this 
              Bb
If you're on your way 
               Gm            F
I'm not gonna write you to stay 
   Dm               
If all you have is leavin' 
           G/B
I'm gonna need a better reason 
         Bb     C
To write you a love song 
  Gm Bb  Dm   F  
Today, Today.. 


Gm             Bb
 I learnt the hard way 
          Dm
That they all say 
  F
Things you wanna hear 
Gm          Bb         Dm       F
 My heavy heart sinks deep down under 
Gm                   Bb
You and Your twisted words 
                Dm
Your help just hurts 
         F                       Gm
You are not what I thought you were 
   Bb     Dm       F
Hello to high and dry 


Gm           F/A
 Convinced me to please you 
Bb           C                  Gm
Made me think that I need this too 
             F/A       Bb
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am 


                           Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song 
           C
Cause you ask for it 
           F
Cause you need one 
     Bb                             Gm
You see, I'm not gonna write you a long song 
           C                     F
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this 
              Bb
If you're on your way 
               Gm            F
I'm not gonna write you to stay

To write you a love song 
   Dm
 today 
     Am    Bb
Promise me 
                  F    C  Dm
You'll leave the light on 
           Am  Bb
To help me see 
                  F     C   Dm
The daylight my guide, gone 
         Am
Cause I believe 
          Bb
There's a way 
         C
You can love me 

Because I say 


                           Gm

Cause you ask for it 
           F
Cause you need one 
     Bb                             Gm
You see, I'm not gonna write you a long song 
           C                     F
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this 
( Gm F/A Bb C Dm )       Gm
Is that why you wanted a love song? 
           C
Cause you asked for it 
           F
Cause you need one 
     Bb                             Gm
You see, I'm not gonna write you a long song 
           C                     F
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this 
              Bb
If you're on your way 
               Gm            F
I'm not gonna write you to stay 
        Bb
If your heart is nowhere in it 
         C
I don't want it for a minute 
        Dm     
Babe, I walk the seven seas 
        G/B                              Bb          C
When I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song
