[Verse]
C Em
The thoughts in my head,
Am
match the mess in my bed,
E7
The pile of books,
F
that I always said
G
Would help understand,
C
the chill in my bones
Em
And the pain in my chest,
Am
when I look at my desk,
E7
Still filled with the mess,
F
Of your old cigarettes,
G
the pile of books,
C
I still haven't read
Em
and the color palette,
Am
all the poems you've sent,
E7
Ever since we first met,
F
that I've read yet again,
G G
but still dont quite apprehend, why, I
[Chorus]
C E7 F
I can't find no words to find
G C
What occupies my mind
E7 F
But I can't stand to hear you cry
G C
So I will sit here and deny
E7 F
That something is off, something isnt right
G C
But I don't want a stand off I don't want a fight
E7 F
Because I can't bear to hear you cry
Fmaj7 Fm
So I will sit here and deny
[Verse]
C
That the lump in my throat
Em
Won't ever explode
Am
And these songs that I wrote
E7
Won't ever unfold
F G C
but alas I'm told that true words are not beautiful
Em
So should I tell you the truth
Am
That I've got bad news
E7
Though I don't think I've misused
F
All my time with you
G
my love was not a ruse
C
But i might just be confused
[Chorus]
E7 F
Cus I cant find no words to hide
G C
What occupies my mind
E7 F
But I cannot stand to hear you cry
G C
So I will sit here and deny
E7
that I've made up my mind
F
and it's a matter of time
G
our storys grown old
C
and we'll give back our clothes
E7
and maybe dispose
F
of everything we own
G
that brings back the cold
C
memories we hold
E7
And we'll both feel alone
F
And we'll stare at our phones
G
And try to excuse
C
Why we hid from the truth
E7
How my time with you
F
Could be so abstruse
G C (strum twice)
But I don't think my love was ever a ruse
[Bridge]
E7 (strum twice)
Well I know
F (strum twice)
I don't
G C (strum twice)
Need to lie about it
E7 (strum twice)
But I know
F
I don't
G
Want to be unkind to you
[Chorus]
E7 F
But I cant find no words to hide
G C
What occupies my mind
E7 F
Though I cannot stand to hear you cry
Fmaj7 Fm
I just can't sit here and deny
that something isn't right
[Interlude]
C Em Am E7 F G
[Verse]
C Em
so woopadidoo
Am
what should i do
E7 F
no this pile of books don't contain any truth
G
now I"ve got no excuse
C
I've got to leave you
