I’m not scared of you

I’m scared of me right here

I’m scared of taking stuff

I give up every year

I’m not scared of your dark eyes

A love to make the day go by

Disappear with ease

A love like ones I’ve read about

Or heard about in song

A love like that might come to me
Am G C Am G C
But never for too long

I’m not scared of your lovely mouth

It’s your voice gets in the way
Am C
Saying ordinary things

That float on air and stay

I look down at your fingers

Imagine them entwined
F C
In mine, and then I look away
G Am
Afraid that I might find
[Chorus]

One taste and then you’re never free

To wake up every morning
G C
Only one thing on my mind
F C
To satisfy a hole
G Am
I’m pretty sure I’ll never find
[Chorus]
