[Verse 1]
Gm Bb
Head under water
Dm
And they tell me
F
To breathe easy for a while
Gm Bb
But breathing gets harder
Dm F
Even i know that
Gm Bb
You made room for me
Dm
But its too soon to see
F
If im happy in your hands
Gm Bb Dm F
Im unusually hard to hold on to
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Am
Blank stares at blank pages
Bb Am
No easy way to say this
Gm Am Bb
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
C
Cause you asked for it
F Bb
Cause you need one, you see
Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
C
Cause you tell me it's
F
Make or break in this
Bb
If you're on your way
Gm F
I'm not gonna write you to stay
Dm G/B
If all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason
Bb C Gm Bb Dm F
To write you a love song today
Gm Bb
I learned the hard way
Dm
That they all say
F
Things you wanna hear
Gm Bb
And my heavy heart
Dm F
Sings deep down under you
Gm Bb
And your twisted words
Dm
Your help just hurts
F
You were not what i thought you were
Gm Bb Dm F
Hello to high and dry
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Am
Convinced me to please you
Bb Am
Made me think that i need this too
Gm Am Bb
I'm trying to let you hear me as i am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
C
Cause you asked for it
F Bb
Cause you need one, you see
Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
C
Cause you tell me it's
F
Make or break in this
Bb
If you're on your way
Gm F
I'm not gonna write you to stay
Dm G/B
If all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason
Bb C
To write you a love song today
[Bridge]
Dm Am Bb
Promise me
F C
You'll leave the light on
Dm Am Bb
To help me see
F C
With daylight, my guide, gone
Dm [ch]A(maj)[/ch] Bb
Cause i believe there's a way
C
You can love me because i say
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
C
Cause you asked for it
F Bb
Cause you need one, you see
Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
C
Cause you tell me it's

I'm not gonna write you a love song

Make or break in this
Gm
Im not gonna write you a love song
C
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Bb
If you're on your way
Gm F
I'm not gonna write you to stay
Dm
If your heart is no where in it
C
I dont want it for a minute
Dm
Babe ill walk the seven seas
G/B
When i believe that there's a reason
Bb C Gm Bb Dm F
To write you a love song today, today
