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