View chords used in this chart
VERSE 1
Am Em Dsus2
Comfortable as I am
Am Em Dsus2
I need your reassurance
Am Em Dsus2
And comfortable as you are
Am Em Dsus2
You count the days
PRE-Chorus
Am D/F#
But if I wanted silence, I would whisper
Am D
And if I wanted loneliness, I'd choose to go
Am D/F#
And if I’d like rejection, I'd audition
Am D
And if I didn't love you, you would know
Chorus
Am-G Em Fmaj7
And why can't you just hold me
Am G Fmaj7 Dm
And how come it is so hard
Am G Em Fmaj7
And do you like to see me broken
Am-G Dm7*
And why do I still care
still care
VERSE 2 (repeat verse 1)
You say you see the light now
At the end of this narrow hall
I wish it didn't matter
I wish I didn't give you all
PRE-Chorus
But if I wanted silence, I would whisper
And if I wanted loneliness, I'd choose to go
And if I’d like rejection, I'd audition
And if I didn't love you, you would know
Chorus
And why can't you just hold me
And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken
And why do I still care
BRIDGE
C G
Poor little misunderstood baby
Am Fmaj7
No one likes a sad face
C Em
But I can't remember life without him
Am Dm
I think I did have good days
Fmaj7 G
I think I did have good days
(G)
And why...
Chorus
And why can't you just hold me
And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken
And why do I still care
