              G
Oh baby, baby please

                 Em           C
I feel an urgent need to apologize

                 G                   Em
I did a terrible thing in a terrible dream

                C
And now I can't look you in the eye

        G
We were out on a date

          Em
When you turned to say,

 C
"I gotta tell you something odd

         G
I know I said we'd get married

        Em
But I'm already married"

     C
And that's when you laughed so hard

                Em
So I turned and swung

             Bm
Woke up in a shock

              C                         D
Nails digging blood from the base of my palms

        C             D
Because people are so fickle

      G                        Em
They fall in love at different angles

            C                      G                D
So really I could lose you just as quickly as I've gotten you

                       C                     D
And that's the kind of thought that makes me nervous

                      G                 Em
And worried if you'll really think I'm worth it

         C                         D                     G        Em
When the rush wears off and you're left with this busted person

       C                           D                G             Em
But if you tell me you will I will do what I can to believe it

                G
So baby all the things that I've seen

     Em
Last night while asleep

       C
This morning, they're messing with me

            G
And now I'm anxious as hell

    Em
And looking for help

          C
Something pleasant and painless

       C
With a throughline of calm

           Bm                 D
That could stop me from being myself

                            C             D
'Cause all I think is how I wanna be your fever

        G               Em
Just to know I make you heated

         C                   G              D
'Cause I worry you might see me more like a blanket

                C               D
Who's there for comfort and for cover

         G               Em
From the glare of former lovers

        Em
All that passion that kissed you and bit you 'til you were devoured

        C                         D                     G          Em
And I'd like to get better 'cause thinking like this is torture

                                  C               G
And if I can't stop it you'll get sick of bearing crosses

           Dsus2/G          Em
And you'll jump to cut your losses

              C                              G
You'll go get quarantined somewhere far from me

           D
Where it's much less dangerous

               C                 D
But maybe if I wake up and quit dreaming

      G                   Em
I can shake and shit I'm fearing

          C                         D               Em       G
And I can realize I'm just freaking out for no good reason

        Em
If that's a line I can cross, once I get there, I'm not ever leaving
