 Chorus:
C#
Sometimes I wonder
Do I love you too much?
Fm7/D# F#
Then I tell myself "Caroline, shut up"
C#
'Cause there's only one way
One way to find out
Fm7/D# F#
If it ever gets better than right now
C#
I dare you to come closer
A#m G#/C
Let me see you in the light
C#
I dare you to stay with me
A#m G#/C
You know I get low sometimes
C#
I dare you to make time stop
A#m G#
Instead of speeding up
C# A#m G#/C
I dare you to go slow, don't rush
Chorus
Fm/C D#m/A# C#/G# Fm C#
Na, na, na, na
Now you got me jealous and I'm not the jealous type

Na, na, na, na
Spending all the cash that I'm saving up
Fm/C D#m/A# C#/G# Fm C#
Na, na, na, na
Lying in the bath, spit out a fountain of wine
Fm/C D#m/A# C#/G# Fm F#
Na, na, na, na
Looking like a God, you know you fuck me up
Chorus
C#
And this is hard, God
A#m G#/C C#
Give me scissors and I'm running on a tightrope
A#m G#/C C#
And I've gotta trust it now
A#m G#/C
Ah, woah
C#
Just don't let go
Fm
(Sometimes I, sometimes I, sometimes I)
Chorus:
Sometimes, I wonder
Do I love you too much?
Then I tell myself, "Caroline, shut up"
If tomorrow, you want me
Then I don't have a doubt
That it gets even better than right now
