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