G C G C
[Chorus 1]
G C
I want a sober kind of love
G C
A sober kind of love
Am D7
I don’t want to get high on you no more
Am D-
I don’t want to get drunk on you...
G C
I want a sober kind of love
G C
I want to know her kind of love
Am D7
I don’t wanna turn deaf and dumb and blind
Am D-
Each and every time I see you...
[Instrumental]

G* G*
[Verse 1]
G*
Help me
Cadd9
Help me stay inside myself
G*
And save me
Cadd9
Save me from the demons
G*
That tell me I need you to be
Cadd9
Always lying next to me
G*
I know
Cadd9
It’s not so
G*
Help me
Cadd9
Help me listen to myself
G*
And heal me
Cadd9
Of the lousy messages
G*
I got from all the movies
Cadd9
And I got from all the songs
G*
About what love was s’posed to be
Cadd9 D
I got it so very wrong
[Bridge]
C D
Every morning I wake up and promptly hit my knees
G Am D
I’m asking God knows what to cure me of this dread disease
C D
Of staking all my happiness on your adoring looks
Em Am C D
Of needing you to know my thoughts and read all of my books
D-
Won’t you read this book to me
[Verse 2]
G*
Help me
Cadd9
Write the final chapter
G*
In the novel with no ending
Cadd9
Of this life I’m done defending
G*
It’s a tale
Cadd9
Of how I failed
G*
Help me
Cadd9
Erase these lying voices
G*
That say love it must destroy you
Cadd9
At the very least annoy you
G*
Or spare you
Cadd9
The pain of being alive
But it won’t
D
It won’t do that
[Bridge]
C D
I’ve been a great romancer I thought that was how to live
G* Am D
If love it is the answer I don’t know what the question is
C D
I’m exhausted by the chase I sure could use some rest
Em Am C D
I said goodbye to that old life I’ve only one request
[Outro]
BPM:140 (Same as Chorus, but softer)
G C
I want a sober kind of love
Gadd11 C
I’m over that kind of love
Am D7
The kind of love where I lose myself
Am D-
The kind of love where you do too
G C
I want a sober kind of love
G C
I want a sober kind of love
Am D7
Teach me God how to be next to her
Am D-
While keeping my heart close to you
