[Verse 1]
E* A* C#m* B*
I'm good at burning bridges before I even build 'em
E* A* C#m* B*
I'm good at quitting feelings before I even feel 'em
E A* C#m* B*
I'm good at saying "goodbye" before "hello" even starts
E* A* C#m* B*
I'm good at turning fires into ashes in the dark
[Chorus]
E A
But you make me wanna be good at love
C#m B
Jumping in without thinking too much
E A
And be good at trust
C#m B E
Be a little worse at giving up too soon
A C#m
Make me wanna see me with you
B E A C#m B
Instead of just seeing the million different ways that I could mess this up
E A C#m B
Yeah, you make me wanna be, good at love
E A C#m B
Make me wanna be, good at love
[Verse 2]
E* A* C#m* B*
I've heard every pretty promise and how quickly they get broken
E* A* C#m* B*
So I got good at shutting doors before they even open
E* A* C#m* B*
But somethin' in your eyes just might have me believing
E* A* C#m* B*
I'll be fine if I just hold my breath and jump into the deep end
[Chorus]
E A
But you make me wanna be good at love
C#m B
Jumping in without thinking too much

And be good at trust
