Am Em If I can't crawl inside of you, G Am I'm laughing with a broken face, Am Em I stumble across my self-esteem, G Am But to picture the pleasure is making me want my space C Am Understand that God wrapped you like a bow C But in my head, there're some shelves that need cleaning Am From basement to ceiling, control, control Em If what you're seeing is an open book G That's great 'cause I'm an open book Am But I'm real shy Am Now there's a part of me seeking Em And desperately needing to open up G That's strange 'cause I'm an open book, Am a confused boy Am I'm an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people Em My heart, while in its cage G Give and not receive a thing But the only funny thing: Am I don't know how to give myself advice Chorus: Am And I've got this post-traumatic thing Em This tattoo of a ring around my wedding finger And that's where I want to state this claim G That I've got to learn to live and dream Am C Before I go and get myself in love, in love Am Before, before, before I go and get myself in love There's Zoloft, Welbutrin There's Paxil that's proven, no side effects But the rest left unnamed 'Cause they worked like a charm on me But when your savings is drying You can't stop from crying You've got to suck it up You're not her buttercup You're not her favorite book I'm an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people My heart, while in its cage Give and not receive a thing But the only funny thing: I don't know how to give myself advice Chorus: And I've got this post traumatic thing This tattoo of a ring around my wedding finger And that's where I want to state this claim That I've got to learn to live and dream Before I go and get myself in love, in love Before, before, before I go and get myself in love | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
