[Intro]
 
F C F C
 
[Verse 1]
 
          F                 C                                      F C
There are things that I sing that I'd never have the confidence to say
          F                C                                 Am         G
There are things I believe that I only figure out when I sit down to play
                              F C                      F    C
The truth don't scare me in a melody, immortalizing my sincerity
          F                 C                                       Am G
There are things that I sing that I'd never have the confidence to say
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
                          F
Like that song about my parents that I'll never show 'em
                      G                    Am
And the ones about my exes that they don't deserve
        C           F           G
When it comes to you, I'm still trying to find the words
 
[Chorus]
 
F             C
Love too big for a love song
     Am                        G
If I tried to sum it up I know I'd get it wrong
F               C
Sometimes if it don't sound right
Am             G
I apologize, I just said it 'cause it rhymed
F                          C
Four chords, three minutes, you never fit in it
   E                   Am
So I just take you line by line
F    C
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
        Am                     G
I'll be writing about you for the rest of my life
F           C                            Am G
Line by line by line by line (line by line)
 
[Verse 2]
 
          F                    C                                    F C
There are things that I sing that I'll never have the confidence to say
         F                 C                                     Am G
Like I'm still not convinced that I won't be too much for you someday
                       F           C
Yeah, we both know the way it goes
                           F C
Hear my fears all on the radio
          F              C                                           Am G
There are things that I sing that I'll never have the confidence to say
 
[Chorus]
 
 
F             C
Love too big for a love song
     Am                        G
If I tried to sum it up I know I'd get it wrong
F               C
Sometimes if it don't sound right
Am             G
I apologize, I just said it 'cause it rhymed
F                          C
Four chords, three minutes, you never fit in it
   E                   Am
So I just take you line by line
F    C
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
        Am                     G
I'll be writing about you for the rest of my life
F           C
Line by line by line by line (line by line)
           Am                 G
I'll be writing about you for the rest of my life
F           C
Line by line by line by line (line by line)
          Am                  G
I'll be writing about you for the rest of my life
 
[Bridge]
 
                Em              F
I know it's complicated having all your shit on display
    G                        Am
I appreciate the way you make it work
        C        F                 G
When it comes to you I'm still trying to find the words
 
[Chorus]
 
F             C
Love too big for a love song
     Am                        G
If I tried to sum it up I know I'd get it wrong
F               C
Sometimes if it don't sound right
Am             G
I apologize, I just said it 'cause it rhymed
F                          C
Four chords, three minutes, you never fit in it
   E                   Am
So I just take you line by line
F    C
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
        Am                     G
I'll be writing about you for the rest of my life
F           C
Line by line by line by line (line by line)
        Am                    G
I'll be writing about you for the rest of my life
F           C
Line by line by line by line (line by line)

Not sure if this is accurate to the original but switching the order of the Am and G almost everywhere they appear seems to sound a little better.
