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