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