G#     Fm  C#
Compassion is not a sexy word
G#     Fm  C#
But on you darlin  It's so sexy it's absurd
C#  D#  G#
When you're laughing at yourself
G#  D#  C#
When you're smiling about it all
C#  D#  G#
The mistakes and cranky feelings
G#  D#  C#
That drip down your inner walls
 D#
I fall in love

Compassion is a word so steeped in stuff
It's dismissible even though there's clearly not enough
And you're staring at me
Across a great divide 
Telling me how it is
No running, numbing hide
I fall in love

Fm D#       C#
Can you love yourself
C# D#   G#
As much as I love you
Can you forgive
All the mistakes you do
In my arms
You are true
 D#
You are you

Compassion is best with no pretense
We're hard, hard wired to feel it for our friends
But when it comes to ourselves
The story gets delayed
So when I see you doing it
My heart's in full display
I fall in love

Can you love yourself
As much as I love you
Can you forgive
All the mistakes you do
You are true
You are you
