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