[Verse 1]
Em         G
head under water

         Bm
and they tell me

            D
to breathe easy for a while

Em              G
breathing gets harder

     Bm       D
even I know that

Em             G
made room for me

                  Bm
it's too soon to see

        D
if I'm happy in your hands

Em      G              Bm     D
unusually hard to hold on to
[Pre-chorus 1]
Em                D/F#
blank stares at blank pages

G        A
no easy way to say this

Em            D/F#                G
you mean well,  but you make this hard on me
[Chorus]
                          Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song

           A
'cause you asked for it

            D            G
'cause you need one, you see

                          Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song

           A
'cause you tell me it's

make or break in this

if you're on your way

to write you a love song today
[Verse 2]
Em             G
I learned the hard way

          Bm
that they all say

  D
things you wanna hear

Em        G
my heavy heart

       Bm       D
sinks deep down under you

Em                G
and your twisted words

                Bm
your help just hurts

          D                      Em
you were not what I thought you were

    G     Bm        D
hello to high and dry
[Pre-chorus 2]
Em          D/F#
convinced me to please you

G            A
made me think that I need this too

Em        D/F#        G
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
[Chorus]
                          Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song

           A
'cause you asked for it

            D            G
'cause you need one, you see

                          Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song

           A
'cause you tell me it's

         D
make or break in this

          G

[Bridge]
Bm      F#m      G
promise me

                 D     A
you'll leave the light on

Bm         F#m      G
to help me see

              D      A
daylight, my guide, gone

Bm          F#             G
'cause I believe there's a way

        A
you can love me because I say
[Chorus]
                     Em
I won't write you a love song

           A
'cause you asked for it

            D            G
'cause you need one you see

                           Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song

            A                     D
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this

     G                    Em
is that why you wanted a love song

           A
'cause you asked for it

            D            G
'cause you need one you see

                           Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song

if you're on your way

                Em           D
I'm not gonna write you to stay

        G
if your heart is nowhere in it

        A
I don't want it for a minute

          Bm
babe I'll walk the seven seas

        E
when I believe that there's a reason

     G          A           Em  G  Bm  D
to write you a love song today, today
Em G Bm D
