G# Bb C
Every time I come here
G# Bb C
I'm not sure what to say
G# Bb C
I know it should be easy
G# Bb C
But it never seems that way
G# Bb C
You, you make me feel
G# Bb C
Like no one ever will
G# Bb C
So why, why do you bore me
G# Bb C
Until my heart is still
Eb Bb Dm
You, you wear me down, my defenses are gone now
C
And I can't fight
G# Bb C
I can't say I love you easily
G# Bb C
But you wouldn't want me to
G# Bb C
So I'd rather just say nothing
G# Bb C
And leave it up to you
G# Bb C
Then it's easy to forget
G# Bb C
You're just as small as me
G# Bb C
Then it's easy to forget
G# Bb C
You're just as foolish as me
