G Em C x2

G
Oh baby, baby please
Em C
I feel an urgent need to apologize
G Em
I did a terrible thing in a terrible dream
C
And now I can't look you in the eye

It started:
G
We were out on a date
Em
When you turned to say,
C
"I gotta tell you something odd
G
I know I said we'd get married
Em
But I'm already married"
C
And that's when you laughed so hard

Em
So I turned and swung
Bm
Woke up in a shock
C D
Nails digging blood from the base of my palms

C D
Because people are so fickle
G Em
They fall in love at different angles
C G D
So really I could lose you just as quickly as I've gotten you
C D
And that's the kind of thought that makes me nervous
G Em
And worried if you'll really think I'm worth it
C D G Em
When the rush wears off and you're left with this busted person
C D G Em
But if you tell me you will I will do what I can to believe it

G Em C x2

G
So baby all the things that I've seen
Em
Last night while asleep
C
This morning, they're messing with me
G
And now I'm anxious as hell
Em
And looking for help
C
Something pleasant and painless

Some story to tell
C
With a throughline of calm
Bm D
That could stop me from being myself

C D
'Cause all I think is how I wanna be your fever
G Em
Just to know I make you heated
C G D
'Cause I worry you might see me more like a blanket
C D
Who's there for comfort and for cover
G Em
From the glare of former lovers
C D G
Em
All that passion that kissed you and bit you 'til you were devoured
C D G Em
And I'd like to get better 'cause thinking like this is torture

G Em C x2
D

C G
And if I can't stop it you'll get sick of bearing crosses
Dsus2/G Em
And you'll jump to cut your losses
C G
You'll go get quarantined somewhere far from me
D
Where it's much less dangerous
C D
But maybe if I wake up and quit dreaming
G Em
I can shake and shit I'm fearing
C D Em G
And I can realize I'm just freaking out for no good reason

I'll tell you what:
C D
Em
If that's a line I can cross, once I get there, I'm not ever leaving

C G

Bm Dsus2/G
