Intro
Fm C# G# D# x2
[Verse 1]
Fm C# G# D#
Enthusiastic beyond belief
Fm C# G# D#
In a busy room you're all I see
Fm C# G# D#
I fear this admiration will be the end of me
Fm C# G# D#
blurring the lines between what I want and what I need
[Chorus 1]
Fm C# G# D#
Calm down, calm down
Fm C# G# D#
Don't let her see how fast your heart is beating
Fm C# G# D#
Calm down, calm down
Fm C# G# D#
Control your breathing
[Verse 2]
Fm C# G# D#
And if you don't want me, well that's just tough luck
Fm C# G# D#
I think about you but I know I'm not good enough
Fm C# G# D#
Have I built you up too much? Now I can't say
Fm C# G# D#
What's on my mind in case I go and scare you away
[Chorus 1]
Fm C# G# D#
Calm down, calm down
Fm C# G# D#
Don't let her see how fast your heart is beating
Fm C# G# D#
Calm down, calm down
Fm C# G# D# Fm
Control your breathing
[Verse 3]
C# G# D# Fm
All the people you meet
C# G# D# Fm
will have thoughts optimistic and sweet
C# G# D# Fm
And how can I compete
C# G# D# Fm C#
with the world at your feet
[Chorus 2]
G# D# Fm C#
Would it be cruel, be cruel, be cruel
G# D# Fm C#
to let my eyes return to you?
G# D# Fm C#
Would it be cruel, be cruel, be cruel,
G# D# Fm
to give my thoughts, my thought to you?
[Verse 4]
C# G# D# Fm
Feelings for friends turn to hate
C# G# D# Fm
when I see what they are willing to throw away
C# G# D# Fm C# G# D# Fm C#
And now I envy a fool who only negates anything with a deeper meaning he tries to say
[Chorus 2]
G# D# Fm C#
Would it be cruel, be cruel, be cruel
G# D# Fm C#
to let my eyes return to you?
G# D# Fm C#
Would it be cruel, be cruel, be cruel,
G# D# Fm
to give my thoughts, my thought to you?
[Bridge]
C# G# D# Fm
I wouldn't want to hurt you by letting you hurt me
C# G# D# Fm
you don't deserve to feel guilty
C# G# D# Fm
I'm an overly sensitive impatient little freak
C# G# D# Fm C#
you'd do better to turn your back on me
G# D# Fm C#
Why do I think these stupid thoughts?
G# D# Fm C#
I want to fight my own advice
G# D# Fm C#
For I will only feel remorse
G#
I just want you in my life
