As recorded by The Pretenders (From the 2023 Album RELENTLESS) [Intro] C Am G C Am G C Am G C Am G C [Verse 1]
        Am
I'm not scared of you

    C                  F
I'm scared of me right here

    Am                   C
I'm scared of taking stuff

                G
I give up every year

        F              C
I'm not scared of your dark eyes

     G             C
They mesmerise and soothe

    F                 C
But I don't mess with burning coal

   G          Am
or anything I can't control
[Chorus]
  Dm
A love to make the day go by

Dm
Like a gentle breeze

Dm
A love to make the difficult

C
Disappear with ease

  Dm
A love like ones I've read about

   C           F
Or heard about in song

  Dm
A love like that might come to me

              Am   G C  Am G C
But never for too long
[Verse 2]
        Am                    C
I'm not scared of your lovely mouth

                     F
It's your voice gets in the way

       Am       C
Saying ordinary things

                      G
That float on air and stay

       F            C
I look down at your fingers

 G             C
Imagine them entwined

   F                C
In mine, and then I look away

 G            Am
Afraid that I might find
[Chorus]
  Dm
A love to make the day go by

Dm
Like a gentle breeze

Dm
A love to make the difficult

C
Disappear with ease

  Dm
A love like ones I've read about

   C           F
Or heard about in song

  Dm
A love like that might come to me

              Am   G C  Am G C
But never for too long
[Interlude] Dm C Dm C Dm C [Verse 3]
        Am
I'm not scared of you

    C                    F
I'm scared of what could be

     Am
Like certain drugs

    C                           G
One taste and then you're never free

        C
To wake up every morning

     G               C
Only one thing on my mind

   F         C
To satisfy a hole

           G           Am
I'm pretty sure I'll never find
[Chorus]
  Dm
A love to make the day go by

Dm
Like a gentle breeze

Dm
A love to make the difficult

C
Disappear with ease

  Dm
A love like ones I've read about

   C           F
Or heard about in song

  Dm
A love like that might come to me

              Am   G C
But never for too long
[Outro] Am G C Am G C Am G C Am G C
