The tab
4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
Head un-der-wat-er and they tell me
To breathe eas-y for a while
Breath-ing gets hard-er, e-ven I know that
Made room for me it's too soon to see
If I'm hap-py in your hands
I'm un-u-su'l-ly hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pag-es
No eas-y way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
CHORUS
I'm not gon-na write you a love song
'Cause you ask for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gon-na 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 gon-na write you to stay
If all you have is leav-in',
I'm gon-na need a bet-ter rea-son
To write you a love song to-day to-day, ay
VERSE
I learned the hard way that they all say
Things you wan-na hear
And my hea-vy heart sinks deep down un-der
You and your twist-ed words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hel-lo to high and dry
Con-vinced me to please you
Make me think that I need this too
I'm try-ing to let you hear me as I am
CHORUS
Prom-ise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with day-light, my guide, gone
'Cause I be-lieve there's a way you can love me
Be-cause I say
CHORUS TWICE TO END
If your heart is no-where in it
I don't want it for a min-ute
Babe, I walk the sev-en seas
when I be-lieve that
There's a rea-son to write you
A love song to-day
