Version 1 Version 2
            This one isn't perfect, but it's MUCH closer than the other three versions on here, and 
easier to play as well. Capo on the third fret.

[Verse 1]

Em         G
head under water
         Bm
and they tell me
            D
to breathe easy for a while
Em              G
breathing gets harder
     Bm       D
even I know that

Em             G
made room for me
                  Bm
it's too soon to see
        D
if I'm happy in your hands
Em      G              Bm     D
unusually hard to hold on to


[Pre-chorus]

Em                D
blank stares at blank pages
G        A
no easy way to say this
Em            D                    G
you mean well,  but you make this hard on me


[Chorus]

                          Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           A
'cause you asked for it
            D            G
'cause you need one, you see
                          Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           A
'cause you tell me it's
         D
make or break in this
          G
if you're on your way
               Em           D
I'm not gonna write you to stay
   Bm                           E
if all you have is leavin' Im'a need a better reason
   G            A            Em  G  Bm  D
to write you a love song today


[Verse 2]

Em             G
I learned the hard way
          Bm
that they all say
  D
things you wanna hear
Em        G
my heavy heart
       Bm       D
sings deep down under you
Em                G
and your twisted words
                Bm
your help just hurts
          D                      Em
you were not what I thought you were
    G     Bm        D
hello to high and dry


[Pre-chorus]

Em          D
convinced me to please you
G            A
made me think that I need this too
Em        D            G
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am


[Chorus]

                          Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           A
'cause you asked for it
            D            G
'cause you need one, you see
                          Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song
           A
'cause you tell me it's
         D
make or break in this
          G
if you're on your way
               Em           D
I'm not gonna write you to stay
   Bm                           E
if all you have is leavin' Im'a need a better reason
     G          A
to write you a love song today


[Bridge]

Bm      F#m      G
promise me
                 D     A
you'll leave the light on
Bm         F#m      G
to help me see
              D      A
daylight, my guide, gone
Bm          F#             G
'cause I believe there's a way
        A
you can love me because I say


[Chorus]
                     Em
I won't write you a love song
           A
'cause you asked for it
            D            G
'cause you need one you see
                           Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song
            A                     D
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
     G                    Em
is that why you wanted a love song
           A
'cause you asked for it
            D            G
'cause you need one you see
                           Em
I'm not gonna write you a love song
            A                     D
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
          G
if you're on your way
                Em           D
I'm not gonna write you to stay
        G
if your heart is nowhere in it
        A
I don't want it for a minute
          Bm
babe I'll walk the seven seas
        E
when I believe that there's a reason
     G          A           Em  G  Bm  D
to write you a love song today, today
