Love Song
Sara Bareilles
I think these chords are pretty close for piano. You have the ascending bass line of
notes F# G, A Bb, C D, E F under the chords during the verses.
Bb can be played as Bbsus2 instead.
[Intro]
Gm Bb Dm F
[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 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Am
Blank stares at blank pages
Bb C
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/A 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/A
Make or break in this
Bb
If you're on your way
Gm Am
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, today, yeah
[Verse 2]
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 Gm
You were not what I thought you were
Bb Dm F
Hello to high and dry
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Am
Convinced me to please you
Bb C
Made me think that I need this too
Gm Am Bb
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm not gonna write you a love song
C
Cause you asked for it
F/A 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/A
Make or break in this
Bb
If you're on your way
Gm Am
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 Dm
To write you a love song today
[Bridge]
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 A Bb
Cause I believe there's a way
C
You can love me because I say
[Chorus]
Gm
I won't write you a love song
C
Cause you asked for it
F/A 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/A
Make or break in this
Bb Gm
Is that why you wanted a love song?
C
Cause you asked for it
F/A 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/A
Make or break in this
Bb
If you're on your way
Gm Am
I'm not gonna write you to stay
Bb
If your heart is no where in it
C
I don't want it for a minute
Dm
Babe I'll 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
Gm Bb Dm F
