View chords used in this chart
G
Don't put your cover up
D
You know it's bad for your health
Em
And when the going's tough
D
You're way too hard on yourself
G
I wish you'd open up
D
And I'd lend a little to help
Em D
Before you dive off the deep end
Em C
Will you hold me like you want me?
G D
But you don't give me nothin' else
Em
Feel this happening
C
But you'll feel absent
G D
Can you tell me what it is?
G
And she said this
D Em C
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
G D
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
Em C
And it's a feeling that you can't ignore
G D
But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
Em C
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
G D
If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified
Em C
Haven't you ever been in love before?"
G
If we don't work it out
D
That's something I could accept
Em
But I feel you're ruling out
D
A love that ain't happened yet
G
And maybe I'm a fool
D
But I just can't live with regret
Em D
I'd rather dive off the deep end
Em C
Will you hold me like you want me?
G D
But you don't give me nothin' else
Em
Feel this happening
C
But you'll feel absent
G D
Can you tell me what it is?
G
And she said this
D Em C
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
G D
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
Em C
And it's a feeling that you can't ignore
G D
But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
Em C
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
G D
If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified
Em C
Haven't you ever been in love before?"
Em D
Well, we could be falling
G C
Falling
Em D
There's nothing I want more than all that you got
G C
'Cause I'm falling
G
And she said this
D Em C
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
G D
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
Em C
And it's a feeling that you can't ignore
G D
But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
Em C
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
G D
If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified
