[Verse 1]
Am7 C F
You should know that you don't kick if you don't have to
Am7 C F
All's fair in love and war, I know, don't get me wrong
Am7 C F
But if you listen to your heart it may mislead you
Am7 C F
Lord I should know, I've felt lost for so long
Am7 C F
You had me go from what I thought was sliding carefully
Am7 F
To seriously slipping out of control
[Chorus]
Am7 C F
But I have to learn that this love will never be convenient
Am7 C F
I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient
Am7 C C F
It's not like a movie when we kiss; there is no music when we kiss
Am7 C F G F
And I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient, convenient, oh, convenient
[Verse 2]
Am7 C F
I hear her whisper, "All I want is to want nothing."
Am7 C F
The room is dark and I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm asleep
Am7 C F C
She says, "It just don't make no sense. Why can't it work out in my head?
Am7 C F
Why I can't be happy when there's definitely reasons I should be."
Am7 C Am7 C F
She says that I, for one, will not be held responsible for someone else, I gotta go
Am7 C F
I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient
Am7 C F G F
And I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient, convenient, oh, convenient
[Bridge]
Am7 F C G
Let's talk about how it felt on my shoulders as it came pouring out my ears
Am7 F C G
Let's talk about the face of our love and how it might look with the addition of tattooed tears
Am7 F C G
Let's talk about the torn up skin on my fingers right where it meets my fingernails
Am7 F C G
Let's talk about what you call sliding carefully is seriously slipping out of control
[Chorus]
Am7 C F
But I have to learn that this love will never be convenient
Am7 C F
I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient
Am7 C C F
It's not like a movie when we kiss; there is no music when we kiss
Am7 C F G F
And I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient, convenient, oh, convenient
