Sara Bareilles Love Song Guitar Chords

[Verse 1]

Am         C
head under water
         Em
and they tell me

to breathe easy for a while

breathing gets harder

even I know that

Am             C
made room for me
                  Em
it's too soon to see

if I'm happy in your hands

Am                G
blank stares at blank pages
C        D

that they all say

your help just hurts

you were not what I thought you were
    C     Em        G
hello to high and dry
