* = Strum once [Intro] Gm Bb Dm F [Verse 1]
Gm         Bb
Head under water

     Dm                      F
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while

Gm                 Bb           Dm     F
The breathing gets harder, even I know that

Gm            Bb                      Dm
Made room for me but it's too soon to see

       F
If I'm happy in your hands

Gm         Bb              Dm     F
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
[Pre-chorus 1]
Gm              Am
Blank stares at blank pages

Bb             Am
No easy way to say this

Gm         Am                    Bb
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
[Chorus]
                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song

          C
Cause you asked for it

          F             Bb
Cause you need one, you see

                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song

          C
Cause you tell me it's

        F
Make or break in this

          Bb
If you're on your way

              Gm           F
I'm not gonna write you to stay

   Dm                                G
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better

          Bb           C*          Gm Bb Dm F
Reason to write you a love song today
[Verse 2]
Gm            Bb
I learned the hard way

          Dm      F
That they all say things you wanna hear

Gm           Bb          Dm        F       Gm
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and

             Bb
Your twisted words

               Dm
Your help just hurts

        F                       Gm
You are not what I thought you were

   Bb    Dm       F
Hello to high and dry
[Pre-chorus 2]
Gm         Am
Convinced me to please you

Bb            Am
Made me think that I need this too

Gm         Am         Bb*
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
[Chorus]
                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song

          C
Cause you asked for it

          F             Bb
Cause you need one, you see

                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song

          C
Cause you tell me it's

        F
Make or break in this

          Bb
If you're on your way

              Gm           F
I'm not gonna write you to stay

   Dm                                G
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better

          Bb           C           Gm 
Reason to write you a love song today
[Bridge]
Dm      Am  Bb                   F                     
Promise me that you'll leave the light on

Dm         Am  Bb                F                  
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone

Dm        A               Bb          C*
Cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say [Chorus]
                    Gm
I won't write you a love song

          C
Cause you asked for it

          F             Bb
Cause you need one, you see

                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song

          C                    F
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this

   Bb                    Gm
Is that why you wanted a love song

          C
Cause you asked for it

          F             Bb
Cause you need one, you see

                          Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song

          C                    F
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this

          Bb
If you're on your way

              Gm           F
I'm not gonna write you to stay

        Dm
If your heart is nowhere in it

        C
I don't want it for a minute

           Dm                         G
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Bb          C*         Gm  Bb  Dm F
Write you a love song today    To-day...
Gm Bb Dm F*
