   I’m so scared of falling, I was in and out up and down, too afraid to be open
|Bb                             |F                       |Csus4   |Csus4   C   |
   I found myself in you, and it made me feel, so fucking scared
|Bb               |F        |C                              |Dm       2nF          |
  ‘Cause when I am open, all my past and all my pain, floats up to the surface you
|Bb                          |F                 |Csus4   |Csus4   |
 can, even cut me down with a smile, it hurts so bad

    |Bb   |Dm                |Csus4     |Csus4   C   |
So I leave   when it gets too good, yeah yeah
 |Bb   |Dm                |Csus4   |Csus4   |
I leave   when it gets too good

But in a perfect world, I am here with you, and I kiss you slow, in a dim lit room
        |Bb                     |F       |
When you ask me if I love you, I say I do
          |C                                 |Dm              |
I’m not running from my problems, and I’m not running from you
         |Bb                    |F           |
And we’re so damn happy, and I’m not confused
           |C                                |Dm                 |
I’m not looking for an escape all, ’cause I’m scared I might lose

 you,  oh, in a perfect world

             |Csus4                   |Dm              2nF/A      |
I’ll give you some credit, but walking out on something perfect’s
      |Bb                      |F                      |
really stupid yeah, baby I said it, you’re so scared of

regretting something, before you can even regret
|Bb                 |F                                     |Csus4   |Dm   2nF/A    |
