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