C
So scared of breaking it
      B
But you won't let it bend
C
And I wrote two hundred letters
B
I won't ever send
C
Somehow it is cut so much
 B
Deeper then they seem
C
You'd rather cover up
B
I'd rather let them be

    C
So let me be
         B7
And I'll set you free

Chorus:
Em Am    D   G
I am in misery
      Em       Am
There ain't no other
         D       G
Who can comfort me
Em   Am       D       G
Why won't you answer me?
      Em          Am    D       G
Your silence is slowly killing me

Em              Am
Girl you really got me bad
D                  G
You really got me bad
Em                 Am
I'm gonna get you back
D              G
Gonna get you back

Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined
It's not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show

So let me be
And I'll set you free

Chorus

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

Bm
Say your faith is shaken
Am
You may be mistaken
D#dim7
You keep me wide awake and
G
Waiting for the sun
Bm
I'm desperate and confused
Am
So far away from you
C
I'm getting here
B
Don't care where I have to go

Em   Am     D           G
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Em   Am       D           G
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
Em   Am     D           G
Why do you do what you do to me yeah
Em   Am       D           G
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah

Chorus

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
