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