[Intro]
 C  Fsus2  Am7   G

[Verse 1]
  C
This could be something and
   Fsus2
 that makes me nervous
      Am7                   G
But when we're together I think
 that we’re perfect
C          Fsus2
Isn't it? Really hope
               Am7        G
I'm not overthinking it
 C                     Fsus2
You say I’m pretty and I don't
believe you
     Am7                 G
But you reassure me when I
 think it's not true
      C         Fsus2
It's definite, me and you were
             Am7              G
made to be more than friends
