Protection

Intro:
|C     |Fmaj7 |Am    |Fmaj7 | x2

      C                         Fmaj7
  I tried so hard to make you smile
      G               Am
  For once I tried to be myself
Fmaj7          G             C
  I made you scared I made you cry
Fmaj7   G            Am    F    G
  So I never tried again

            C                        Fmaj7
  And you tried to tell me how you feel
     G                Am
  I couldn't hear you say a thing
Fmaj7           G            C
  You tried to tell me how you feel
Fmaj7       G    Am
  I wasn't listening
Fmaj7       G
  I wasn't listening

Chorus:
               Am    Fmaj7    C             G
  It took me twenty-nine years to reach perfection
        Am      Fmaj7         C           G
  They fill us with fear, computerized rejections
        Am      Fmaj7  C             G
  Your voice disappears on a bad connection
           Am    Fmaj7    C           G
  It gets lonely out here, I need protection, please
Fmaj7
  Are you protecting me?

|C     |Fmaj7 |Am     |Fmaj7 |

         C                        F
  Now I found a way to make you smile
      G            Am
  pretending I am someone else
F          G              C
  Cause I really missed your smile
F        G            Am     F    G
  more than I missed myself

       C                        F
  You found a way to keep it inside
        G                     Am
  to a point where you can't feel a thing
F      G            C
  and silence suits us fine
F              G    Am
  When we're not listening
F                G
  No, we're not listening

|C    |C    |

Chorus:
               Am    Fmaj7    C             G
  It took me twenty-nine years to reach perfection
        Am      Fmaj7         C           G
  They fill us with fear, computerized rejections
        Am      Fmaj7  C             G
  Your voice disappears on a bad connection
           Am    Fmaj7    C            G          Fmaj7
  It gets lonely out here, are you protecting me?
C             G            Am    Fmaj7
  Are you protecting me?
C             G            Am    Fmaj7
  Are you protecting me?
C             G            Am    Fmaj7
  Are you protecting me?
C             G            Am    Fmaj7
  Are you protecting me?
