__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Okay, so, this song is really tricky, best of luck catching it!
Intro: 
       Bm      G#m  C# F#
Bm          F#m
Sometimes I see his face
Bm                        F#m   A
I want to hold you but it feels unsafe
Bm              F#m
Too scared to give me heart up now
Bm                      F#m     A
I'm not brave enough to play my part now
D     A        Bm               A
Can you guarantee that you'll stay
          Bm       G    C#m F#
Here with me, with me
Bm                   F#m
Feels strange like a foreign thing
Bm                        F#m     A
I'm still waiting for the love to kick in
Bm                F#m
Sometimes when I watch you sleeping
Bm               F#m       A
I keep hand to check you're breathing
D           C#m            Bm               A
It's not fair, not your fault, not your fault
         Bm
Not at all, not at all
A     Bm            G      D
Once bitten, twice shy
A    Bm     G       Em
I try and I try, I try
          A             B
Cause I'm holding on to nothing
    G             E
I'm holding on to nothing
A    D              Bm  G    C#m  F#
Once bitten, twice shy
Bm              F#m
I can't seem to find the strength
Bm                          F#m    A
What's the point in keeping you at arm's length
Bm                       F#m
I want to love you but I can't imagine
Bm                 F#m    A
What I'd do if the worst did happen
D     A        Bm               A
Can you guarantee that you'll stay
          Bm       G
Here with me, with me
A     Bm            G      D
Once bitten, twice shy
A    Bm     G       Em
I try and I try, I try
          A             B
Cause I'm holding on to nothing
    G             E
I'm holding on to nothing
A    D              Bm  G    C#m  F#
Once bitten, twice shy
Bm         A           G#m
Where I've been, never thought
          C#  F#m     G
No I won't go back
Bm       D    B
Couldn't take anymore
    C#m  D    G
I'm not going back
G
Going back, going back
A     Bm            G      D
Once bitten, twice shy
A    Bm     G       Em
I try and I try, I try
          A             B
Cause I'm holding on to nothing
    G             E
I'm holding on to nothing
A    D              Bm         G
Once bitten, twice shy
             E     F#
Once bitten, twice shy
