Standard (EADGBE)

Lord, she says, I'm tired

Of living life this way

Hiding what I'm feeling

Keeping you at bay

Love me anyway

Look upon my secrets

The things that I can't show

Understand my sickness

Know the things I know

Love me anyway

Tell me that you love me

Tell me that you care

Tell me that you hate me

Make me unaware

Love me anyway

Chorus

Love is never easy

Love is never free

If it seems that easy

You're not doing it properly

Tightly wounds and careful

Surreptitiously

Knowing that you're knowing

Only part of me

Love me anyway

Guitar solo

Chorus

Love is never easy

Love is never free

If it seems that easy

You're not doing it properly

Listen to my words

Forget the things I say

Climb inside my scull

And then quickly go away

Love me anyway

Love me anyway

(at the end it fades out with a guitar solo)
