Sara Bareilles - Love Song Ukulele

[Verse 1]
Gm         Bb
Head under water
     Dm                      F
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
Gm                 Bb           Dm     F
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Gm            Bb                      Dm
Made room for me but it's too soon to see
       F
If I'm happy in your hands
Gm         Bb              Dm     F
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
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
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
          Bb           C           Gm Bb Dm F
Reason to write you a love song today


[Verse 2]
Gm            Bb
I learned the hard way
          Dm      F
That they all say things you want to hear
Gm           Bb          Dm        F
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
    Gm
Your twisted words
Bb
Your help just hurts
Dm      F                       Gm
You are not what I thought you were
Bb       Dm       F
Hello to high and dry
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


[Chorus]
                          Gm
                          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
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
          Bb           C           Gm Bb Dm F
Reason to write you a love song today

[Bridge]
Dm  Am  Bb     F                     C
    Promise me that you'll leave the light on
Dm  Am      Bb    F                  C
    To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
Dm        A               Bb          C
Cause I believe there's a way you can love me

Because I say


[Chorus]
                    Gm
I won't 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                    F
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
   Bb                    Gm
Is that why you wanted 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                    F
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 nowhere in it
        C
I don't want it for a minute
           Dm                         G
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that

There's a reason to
Bb          C           Gm Bb Dm F
Write you a love song today
