G Em C x2

              G
Oh baby, baby please
                 Em           C
I feel an urgent need to apologize
                 G                 
I did a terrible thing in a 
  Em
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                    
Nails digging blood from the base 
     D
of my palms


        C             D
Because people are so fickle
      G                       
They fall in love at different 
 Em
angles
Continues after the ad
            C                      
So really I could lose you just as 
G                D
quickly as I've gotten you
                       C           
And that's the kind of thought that
          D
 makes me nervous
                      G            
And worried if you'll really think 
     Em
I'm worth it
         C                         
When the rush wears off and you're 
D                     G        Em
left with this busted person
       C                           
But if you tell me you will I will 
D                G             Em
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      
'Cause all I think is how I wanna 
       D
be your fever
        G               Em
Just to know I make you heated
         C                   G    
'Cause I worry you might see me 
          D
more like a blanket
                C              
Who's there for comfort and for 
 D
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                         
And I'd like to get better 'cause 
D                     G          Em
thinking like this is torture

G Em C x2
D

And if I can't stop it you'll get 
C               G
sick of bearing crosses
           Dsus2/G          Em
And you'll jump to cut your losses
              C                    
You'll go get quarantined somewhere
          G
 far from me
           D
Where it's much less dangerous
               C               
But maybe if I wake up and quit 
  D
dreaming
      G                   Em
I can shake and shit I'm fearing
          C                        
And I can realize I'm just freaking
 D               Em       G
 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
