Intro: Csus2 Am Dm G
 
Verse 1:
                             C
I think it sucks that you're perfect
                              Am
'Cause you're not perfect for me
                            Dm
And though you kill me with kindness
                         G
It ain't the kind that I need
                       C
I know we look good on paper
                    Am
Until you give us a read
                             Dm
'Cause when we pull back the curtains
                           G
There ain't a whole lot to see
 
Chorus:
                       C
I wanna love you but I don't
                       Am
I wanna need you but I won't
                              Dm
I begged my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
                              G
I say I'm dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you
 
Verse 2:
                      C
And I'm not trying to change you
                         Am
But it's just not in the stars
                        Dm
I know there's somebody out there
                        G
To love you just as you are
         C
When you finally find that someone who fits you right
             Am
You'rе gonna see I couldn't be him
 
No matter how hard I try
  Dm
I know I wanna love you but I-
G
I wanna lovе you but I-
 
Chorus:
                       C
I wanna love you but I don't
                       Am
I wanna need you but I won't
                              Dm
I begged my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
                              G
I say I'm dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you
                       C
I wanna love you but I don't
                         Am
You gotta let me let you go
                               Dm
'Cause I can't look you in the eye for another day
                           G
Won't stay forever, so goodbye is the only way
                       C
I wanna love you but I don't
 
Refrain:
 
(I wanna love you, I wanna wanna)
Am                                                       Dm
(I wanna love you, I wanna wanna) I wanna love you but I don't
 
(I wanna love you, I wanna wanna)
G
(I wanna love you, I wanna wanna)
 
Chorus:
                       C
I wanna love you but I don't
                       Am
I wanna need you but I won't
                           Dm
I beg my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you
                              G
I say I'm dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you
                       C
I wanna love you but I don't
                         Am
You gotta let me let you go
                               Dm
'Cause I can't look you in the eye for another day
                           G
Won't stay forever, so goodbye is the only way
                            C
I wanna love you but I don't
 
Refrain:
 
(I wanna love you, I wanna wanna)
Am                                                       Dm
(I wanna love you, I wanna wanna) I wanna love you but I don't
 
(I wanna love you, I wanna wanna)
G
I wanna love you, I wanna wanna
