Tom: D
D Bm G A 2x
[Verse 1]
D Bm
You told me that you really loved me
G A
You told me that it was different
D Bm
You told me that I'm in the picture
G A
The only girl who fits in
D Bm
You told me that you have emotions
G A
But you don't know how to phrase them
D Bm
But I'm not here to criticize those
G A
I'm only here to praise them
G A D A Bm
And I'm okay with not having to fix that
G A D A Bm
And I'm okay with teaching you how to love yourself
G A D A Bm
It's all in you, you just have to bring it out of that place
G A D
I'll give you time and I'll give you space
[Verse 2]
D Bm
You told me that you're scared of heartbreak
G A
Just holding on to attraction
D Bm
But I'm not leaving I'm not saying
G A
Just need to show you satisfaction
G A D A Bm
And I'm alright with misdemeanors
G A D A Bm
Mistakes push you to find what's right for you
G A D A Bm
It's not goodbye I couldn't stand to leave your face
G A D
But it's just some time and a little space
[Chorus]
G A D A Bm
I can't love you till you can find a way to love yourself
G A D A Bm
It will take some learning, it's not just a how-to book on the shelf
G A D A Bm
I'll stay with you to make it through there's no place I'd rather be
G A D A Bm
But you need to be in you before you can be with me
[Outro]
G A D A Bm
And I'm alright with the distance
G A D A Bm
And I'm okay if this changes the way you feel for me
G A D A Bm
And I'm alright if I'm no longer in the race
G A G A
You just need time to start your life
G A D
Oh, you just need time and space
