---------------------------------------------------------
[Intro] G Em C x2 [Verse 1]
G                          Em
I'm a little scared you'll leave

                C
Even though you tell me you won't

G                      Em
I'm a little scared of being

             C
Someone that you're scared to love

    Am                 G/B
But you don't talk the way he did

    C
And you don't say the things he did

D/F#          Em7              D#maj7
I'm not who I was back then but still
[Verse 2]
G                      Em
I'm a little scared to speak

              C
Cause I can't find the words to say

    G                          Em
And I don't want to make this about me

             C
I just can't hold it in today

    Am                 G/B
But you don't play the games he did

    C
And you don't make me feel like shit

    D/F#             Em7              D#maj7
And my mom likes you more than him but still
[Chorus]
D        Em                 C
How do I tell you that I've come to like the pain?

D         Em              C
 How do I tell you that I don't know what it means

      Am             G/B              C
To be happy with somebody? Don't know anything 'bout that

        Am               G/B               C             C#dim  G
Who the hell can write a love song without making it too sad?

                 G     Em
That's all I've been

         D#maj7
How do I tell you?

         D#maj7     D           G    Em C
How do I tell you I got it from him?

  G   Em  C
Oooh, oh, ooh
[Verse 3]
G                     Em
I'm a little prone to feel

               C
A little overwhelmed with it all

      G               Em
Cause you are someone I want to know

      C
And I hope you don't let me fall

D               Em
You make sure I get home safe

    C
And you always know what to say

D               G               D#
I feel like I found my place but still
[Chorus]
D        Em                 C
How do I tell you that I've come to like the pain?

D         Em              C
 How do I tell you that I don't know what it means

      D              G                C
To be happy with somebody? Don't know anything 'bout that

        D                G                 C             C#dim  G
Who the hell can write a love song without making it too sad?

                 G   Em
That's all I've been

       D#maj7
How do I tell you?

         D#maj7     D           G   D#maj7
How do I tell you I got it from him?

         A#       D              G
How do I tell you   I got it from him?
