It's the little things
C#m A E
They pulled me in now I'm defenseless
E C#m A E
I try to ignore like I've done before but it's just useless

B A E
I've made up my mind that I'm gonna let you in
B A
And I'm not afraid but I have to say
Chorus:
E B
This is gonna hurt if it ever ends
A E
But somehow you have shattered my defense
E B
This is gonna hurt if it ever starts
A E C#m A E
So promise you'll be careful with my heart
Verse 2: same chords as verse 1
It's the things you do
They made me fall hard for you and I can't help it
And it's every day that I feel this way
So just don't stop it
Bridge 2: same chords as bridge 1
I've made up my mind that I'm gonna let you in
And I'm not afraid but I have to say
Chorus 2: slight difference at the end
This is gonna hurt if it ever ends
But somehow you have shattered my defense
This is gonna hurt if it ever starts
A E C#m
So promise you'll be careful with my heart
Bridge:
F#m
I won't make excuses

They just all seem useless
E
You don't have the time
C#m F#m
I guess I'll take my chances
F# A
now that I know love is on the line
Chorus 3: same as chorus 2
This is gonna hurt if it ever ends
But somehow you have shattered my defense
This is gonna hurt if it ever starts
A E C#m
So promise you'll be careful with my heart
