Cherish

Bb                        Cm
It’d be so brave of me to walk away
Eb
Leave this apartment, leave this place we taint
Bb                                  F
Hold my head, sleep on it, keep you waiting
        Eb
Draw it out, give you space ’til it pains you


[Verse 2]
Bb                            Cm
We sit in silence here in the bed we made
Eb
I sit beside you, wearily taking your weight
         Bb                        F
You pull back, I reach out, try to save you
       Eb
Come undone then go numb, like it’s easy to


[Chorus]
Bb                    Cm                         Eb
I’m playing all of my cards, sweetheart, but I’m no match for your demons

I know that I won’t beat them
Bb                       Cm                 Eb
Questions I should never ask are all that I seem to ponder latеly

As times ahead look hazy
Gm                F
What do I have to do
                 Eb                            F
Just to makе you believe so you can cherish me like
               Bb Eb Bb Eb
I cherish you?


[Verse 3]
Bb                          Cm
Summer was wondrous feeling assured and safe
Eb
Soaked in daylight and love

We were thinking straight
     Bb                        F
Photographs show us as we were then, babe
           Eb
Look at us now, tearing this down like we want it this way


[Bridge]
Bb                      Cm
My childhood room is in boxes
                     Gm
Packed up half of my life
                     F
Everything I have to offer is in your hands, still I
Eb                Cm7
Feel I may not be enough
                            Gm
You think I don’t fit quite right
                            F
But the way your body holds mine makes me think otherwise


[Chorus]
Bb                    Cm                         Eb
I’m playing all of my cards, sweetheart, but I’m no match for your demons

I know that I won’t beat them
Bb                       Cm                 Eb
Questions I should never ask are all that I seem to ponder latеly

As times ahead look hazy
Gm                F
What do I have to do
                 Eb                            F
Just to makе you believe so you can cherish me like

I cherish you?

Gm                F
What do I have to do
                 Eb                            F
Just to makе you believe so you can cherish me like

I cherish you?
Gm                F
What do I need to say
                     Eb                      F
To bring you back to recenter and see me the way

I want you to?


[Chorus]
 Bb                    Cm                         Eb
I’m playing all of my cards, sweetheart, but I’m no match for your demons

I know that I won’t beat them
Bb                       Cm                 Eb
Questions I should never ask are all that I seem to ponder latеly

As times ahead look hazy
Gm                F
What do I have to do
                 Eb                            F
Just to makе you believe so you can cherish me like
               Bb Cm
I cherish you?


[Outro]
Eb                        F
It’d be so brave of me to walk away
