[Intro]
D G Bm G

[Verse 1]
D
Tell me your secrets
G
I won’t repeat them
Bm
This tug in my chest
Makes it hard to get rest
G
And I think that I’m better off dead
D
Tell me you mean it
G
Give me your pieces
Bm
This hole in my heart
Makes it hard to restart
G
And I think that I’m falling apart

[Pre-Chorus]
A
God only knows
G
Why it comes and it goes
A
And gets lost on me
G
I’m scared that it shows
A
And I, I’m scared to believe

[Chorus]
Bm
‘Cause I love you

But sometimes
A
I’d rather die
G D G Bm G
Than have to feel this way inside

[Verse 2]
D
Tell me it’s over
G
At least I’m closer
Bm
This weight on my neck
Makes it hard to connect
A G
And I’m staring at my feet again
D
I don’t think they know it
G
How bad I’m broken
Bm
The colors you see
Have become lost on me
G
And I can’t find the root of the bleed

[Pre-Chorus]
A
God only knows
G
Why it comes and it goes
A
And gets lost on me
G
I’m scared that it shows
A
And I, I’m scared to believe

[Chorus]
Bm
‘Cause I love you
But sometimes
A
I’d rather die
G Bm G D A Bm G D A
Than have to feel this way inside

[Bridge]
A
God only knows
G
Why it comes and it goes
A
And gets lost on me
G
I’m scared that it shows
A
And I, I’m scared to believe

[Chorus]
Bm
‘Cause I love you
But sometimes
A
I’d rather die
G D G Bm G D
Than have to feel this way inside
