          F                      C
I could imagine you breaking my heart
  G               F
Those things can happen
              C           G
Whenever you hold on too hard
 F                  C           G           F  C G
I’m not a pessimist I’m just a mess in the dark

Tend to get anxious when something begins
'Cause I know the chances of stayin'
together are slim
The odds are against us but
I'll make the best of whatever this is

Chorus:
F  G#
Oh ooh
           G
Tired of writing in pencil I’m inkin’ you in
F  G#
Ooh
                       G
Living like I’m not afraid of end
               F C
Afraid of the end
              G
Afraid of the end
            F
If and or when
                C                           G
Can we just pretend we’re not afraid of the end

What if you met somone else at your work?
Somone more stable and better at puttin' you first
You could lose patience while
I'm on the other side of the Earth

Chorus:
Oh-oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm tired of writin' in pencil,
I'm inkin' you in, oh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Livin' like I'm not afraid of the end
Afraid of the end, afraid of the end
If, and, or, when
Can we just pretend we're not afraid of the end?

Oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh, ooh, ooh-oh
If, and, or, when
Can we just pretend we're not afraid of the end?
I could imagine you breakin' my heart
I could imagine you breakin' my heart
It might not happen but there's still a chance
I can imagine, I can imagine
