This girl rocks. Although Sara plays this song on the piano, I have tabbed out chords guitar. Its pretty basic... Em, D, G, Bm, A Em D G head under water Bm and they tell me A to breathe easy for a while Em D G but breathing gets harder Bm A even i know that Em D G you made room for me Bm but its too soon to see A if im happy in your hands Em D G Bm A im unusually hard to hold on to Em D G blank stares at blank pages Bm A no easy way to say this Em D G Bm A.... pause and hold you mean well, but you make this hard on me Em i'm not gonna write you a love song D G 'cause you asked for it Bm A 'cause you need one, you see Em i'm not gonna write you a love song D G 'cause you tell me it's Bm make or break in this A if your on your way Em G i'm not gonna write you to stay Bm A Em G if all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason to write you a love Bm....A.... song today (Em... D.... G... Bm....A... continued for the rest of the song) i learned the hard way that they all say things you wanna hear and my heavy heart sings deep down under you and your twisted words your help just hurts you were not what i thought you were hello to high and dry convinced me to please you made me think that i need this too i'm trying to let you hear me as i am i'm not gonna write you a love song 'cause you asked for it 'cause you need one, you see i'm not gonna write you a love song 'cause you tell me it's make or break in this if your on your way i'm not gonna write you to stay if all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason to write you a love song today promise me you'll leave the light on to help me see (im guessing)- with daylight, my guide, gone (it sounds like something like that..)
