Intro
A#
[Verse 1]
A#
I had accepted my fate
A#
I had it all set in stone
A#
I was meant to fade away, in the dark and all alone
A#
But now you’ve got me feeling selfish
A#
How could I say no
[Bridge 1]
A#
When you’re so soft
A#
And you’re so warm
A#
But roses always have their thorns
A#
I feel my soul begin to thaw
A#
And I can’t help but wish I never saw you
[Chorus]
A#
Why do I have to be so selfish
A#
Oh
A#
Selfish
[Verse 2]
A#
How we met, beneath the tree
A#
Keeps me tossing in my sleep
A#
Love is scarier than greed
[Bridge 2]
A#
But you’re so bright
A#
And you’re so pure
A#
So tell me what am I here for?
[Bridge 3]
A#
But my cruel hеart
A#
It won’t say no
A#
I have to choose between brеaking your heart
A#
And killing my own
[Bridge 4]
A#
And you’re so soft,
A#
And you’re so warm
A#
But roses always have their thorns
A#
I feel my soul
A#
Begin to thaw
A#
And I can’t help but wish I never saw you
[Chorus]
A#
Why do I have to be so selfish
A#
Oooooooh
Selfish
[Outro]
A#
How stupid can I be
A#
To think it’d be so easy to let go
A#
Of the body that binds me
A#
So I have to say goodbye
A#
It’s decided I don’t have the option to be selfish
