F                       C                 Am
I know a few ten-cent words

I can break out to keep up with her
Dm                                 Em                         F
But you can take what I know about love
E                                 F
And drown it in the sink

Won’t be a single dry eye in a room

And maybe fill a small balloon

[Chorus]
C                                                 F
But I’m just dumb enough to try
E                                 Em
To keep you in my life
Dm
For a little while longer
C                                                 F
And I’m insane enough to think

I’m gonna get out with my skin
Dm
And start my life again

Everything’s cool, I’m great, it’s fine

Oh, but I’m just dumb enough to try

To keep you in my life

For a little while longer

And I’m insane enough to think

I’m gonna get out with my skin
Dm
And start my life again
