                  D#      F
Tell you I don't want you
     Gm
When all I really wanna do is tell you
that I miss you
It's easy to approach you, you never
make it hard to do
But honestly, I'm scared of the truth
that I'm not for the likes of you

I push you away, but I want you to stay,
got no excuse
Circling 'round the lies 'cause I can't
tell it straight
So here's the truth

Chorus:
               D#   F   Gm
I don't know why, why, why,
I'm so afraid to try, try, try
You're everything that perfect defines
I don't know why, why, why I'm so afraid to try

Every time you save me,
I wait for you to come break me
And wake me from this daydream (Ooh-oh)
But I don't wanna lose you, ooh, I'd be a fool to
'Cause honestly, there's nobody else
that compares to the likes of you

I push you away, but I want you to stay,
got no excuse
Circling 'round the lies 'cause
I can't tell it straight
So here's the truth

Chorus
