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