I Dont Know How To Tell You This

Tom: Am

Cmaj7            Am7            Cmaj7             Am7
If I had all the words, I would blurt them all at once
Cmaj7                         Am7
But they're stuck in all these fragments jammed at the
Cmaj7         Am7        Dm             F
bottom of my lungs and my mind threatens to erupt
         Dm            F             Dm                F
But I've got a face to keep, and my veins are going to implode
         Dm            F
Oh it's costing me my sleep


[Corus]
Cmaj7          Am7           Cmaj7      Am7
Oh the way you grin makes my heart stop dead
         Cmaj7      Am7             Cmaj7            Am7
And your kind, warm words drain all judgment from my head
       Dm             F
Oh my sanity's placed secondary
      Dm                    F
Cause somehow your spot is now primary
  Dm                F
I don't know how to tell you this
            Dm            F
Conscience, don't tell me what to do
      Dm                      F
But I think my heart's made a little space for you


[Verse 2]
             Cmaj7          Am7        Cmaj7              Am7
So if you're ever wondering why all my jokes make little sense

        Cmaj7      Am7                    Cmaj7         Am7
And the way that I talk seems as though I lack confidence
Dm                F            Dm               F
Truth is that I'm terrified of how you might react
      Dm                 F
Cause maybe you'd rather us be friends
            Dm              F
We might be better off like that


[Corus]
Cmaj7          Am7           Cmaj7      Am7
Oh the way you grin makes my heart stop dead
         Cmaj7      Am7             Cmaj7            Am7
And your kind, warm words drain all judgment from my head
       Dm             F
Oh my sanity's placed secondary
      Dm                    F
Cause somehow your spot is now primary
  Dm                F
I don't know how to tell you this
            Dm            F
Conscience, don't tell me what to do
      Dm                      F
But I think my heart's made a little space for you


[Bridge]
              Dm
I'm breathing slow
                F
I don't do this all the time
                Dm
And if it's not returned
             F
I know it'll all be fine
          Cmaj7
But I don't know how to tell you this
N/C
I'll just come off as a fool
           Am7
This'll either be a hit or miss
N/C
Be ready in 1, 2, 3
