Verse
E
I can always pick up books
A
in the search of what I need
B A
but that doesn’t help me any
E
if you’re impossible to read
B A
so if you love me, if you love me
E
come clean
E
these monsters in my closet
A
are watching over me
B A
the days are getting shorter
E
and at night it’s hard to sleep
B A
the combination of all of this
E
is the death of everything
B A
so if you love me, if you love me
E
hurry
E
because I don’t think that wasting
A
a second of this time
B A
would benefit the outcome
E
of the life I had in mind
B A
I’ll refer to you as my special love
E
the one that set me free
B A
so if you love me, if you love me
E
come clean
B A E
waiting around until things grow old
B A E
I’m feeling lost in towns that were my home
B A E
and if everything was easier before
B A E
then we’ll go back to who we were
E
so I’m picking up a book
A
in the search of what I need
B A
from religion, to fiction
E
being lost about at sea
B A
and all I can imagine
E
is being brushed against your cheek
B A
so if you love me, if you love me
E
come clean
