Gm7 Bb7 Dm F (x2)
[Verse]
Gm7 Bb7
Head under water
Dm F
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
Gm7 Bb7 Dm F
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
[Verse]
You made room for me, but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
[Pre-chorus]
Gm7 F/A
Blank stares at blank pages
Bb C
No easy way to say this
Gm7 F/A 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 F
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
Bb
If you're on your way
Gm F/A
I'm not gonna write you to stay
Dm
If all you have is leaving
Dm/B Bb C Gm7
I'mma need a better reason to write you a love song today
Bb7 Dm F
Today
[Verse]
I learned the hard way
That they all say things you wanna hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under you
And your twisted words, your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
[Pre-chorus]
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way,
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason to write you a love song today
[Bridge]
Dm Am
Promise me
Bb F F/E
You'll leave the light on
Dm Am Bb F C/E
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]
Gm7
I won't write you a love song
C7
'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 breaking this
Bb Gm7
Is that why you wanted a love song
C
'Cause you asked for it?
F Bb
'Cause you need one, you see
Gm7
I'm not gonna write you a love song
C F
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
Bb
If you're on your way
Gm F/A
I'm not gonna write you to stay
Dm/G
If your heart is nowhere in it
C
I don't want it for a minute
Dm Dm/B
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to
Bb C Gm7
Write you a love song today
Bb Dm F
Today
Gm7 Bb Dm F
