[Intro]
Gm  Bb  Dm  F
[Estrofe]
Gm           Bb 
 Head under water 
         Dm 
And they tell me 
            F 
To breathe easy for a while 
Gm                   Bb 
 But breathing gets harder 
     Dm       F 
Even I know that 
Gm                 Bb 
 You made room for me 
                     Dm 
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-Refrão]
Gm              Am 
 Blank stares at  blank pages 
Bb        C 
 No easy way to say this 
Gm            Am                   Bb 
 You mean well,  but you make this hard on me
[Refrão]
                          Gm 
I'm not gonna write you a love song 
           C 
Cause you asked for it 
           F/A           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/A 
Make or break in this 
          Bb 
If you're on your way 
               Gm           Am 
I'm not gonna write you to stay 
   Dm                           G/B 
If all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason 
   Bb            C          Gm  Bb  Dm  F 
To write you a love song today,   today, yeah
[Estrofe]
Gm              Bb 
 I learned the hard way 
          Dm 
That they all say 
F 
Things you wanna hear 
Gm             Bb 
 And my heavy heart 
      Dm        F 
Sings deep down under you 
Gm               Bb 
And your twisted words 
               Dm 
Your help just hurts 
         F                        Gm 
You were not what I thought you were 
   Bb    Dm        F 
Hello to high and dry
[Pre-Refrão]
Gm           Am 
 Convinced me  to please you 
Bb            C 
 Made me think that I need this too 
Gm         Am           Bb 
 I'm trying  to let you hear me as I am
[Refrão]
                          Gm 
I'm not gonna write you a love song 
           C 
Cause you asked for it 
           F/A           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/A 
Make or break in this 
          Bb 
If you're on your way 
               Gm           Am 
I'm not gonna write you to stay 
   Dm                           G/B 
If all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason 
   Bb            C           Dm 
To write you a love song today
[Puente]
   Am      Bb 
Promise me 
                 F     C 
You'll leave the light on 
Dm           Am      Bb 
  To help me see 
                  F      C 
With daylight, my guide, gone 
Dm            A             Bb 
  Cause I believe there's a way 
        C 
You can love me because I say
[Refrão]
                     Gm 
I won't write you a love song 
           C 
Cause you asked for it 
           F/A           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/A 
Make or break in this 
   Bb                    Gm 
Is that why you wanted a love song? 
           C 
Cause you asked for it 
          F/A           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/A 
Make or break in this 
          Bb 
If you're on your way 
               Gm           Am 
I'm not gonna write you to stay 
        Bb 
If your heart is no where in it 
        C 
I don't want it for a minute 
          Dm 
Babe I'll walk the seven seas 
         G/B 
When I believe that there's a reason 
   Bb          C            Gm  Bb  Dm  F 
To write you a love song today,   today
[Outro]
Gm  Bb  Dm  F
