[Verse 1]
         G
Your voice puts sickness
         C
 into my gut
          G      Em
And I swallowed just a
          C
little too much
        D    Am             C
I don’t know what I did wrong
               A/C#
It’s not your fault, I just
                 C
 think I was in love
G                         C
You make every part of me small
    G
I’m short of breath
     Em       C
 and two feet tall
      G           Em
And I still don’t know
            C
 what I did wrong
         A/C#
It’s not your fault,
                       C
 I just think I was in love

[Chorus]
C            G
What was the day
Em                  G7
…That you ceased to think
      G/B     C
 of me   like that
        C           G7
I don’t know what I said
Em                 G7
  But I’d like the chance
        C          D
 to take it back

[Verse 2]
    G        Em            C
I have been avoiding you I guess
               G
‘Cause when we speak
          Em             C
 I forget, forget, forget
             G
Then when it hits me, it’s
    Em          C
further into my chest
          D              Em
You don’t want me, forget,
      Am      C
forget, forget

[Verse 3]
       G      Em
My voice puts sickness
         C
 into my gut
      G
And I can’t believe
   Em            C
I missed it once
        G       Em           C
I guess you did nothing wrong
         A/C#
And I swear it wouldn’t
                       C
 have mattered so much
A/C#
None of this would be worth
                                 C
the fuss if I hadn’t been in love
G  Em C
     I just think
                 G      Em C
 I was in love
