Intro
D (and between Part 1 and 2)
[Part 1]
D F#m
love is a disease
Bm G
it infects what you believe about yourself and the others you need
D F#m
and love is not kind it won't smile and it won't shine
Bm G
it isn't there when you need it. you can't save it and you can't delete it
D F#m
and love is cruel and unforgiving and love is usually unwilling
Bm G
to give you back what you've been building it will scorch the earth just cos you're tilling it
D F#m
and like a cat you've been petting, for every day and every single week,
Bm G
but when you need it and when you're feeling weak all it really wants to do is fall asleep
D F#m
because love is vicious and love is spiteful but love also just doesn't care
Bm G
so you can fight it but when you strike at it it'll just vanish like it was never there
D F#m
but believe me it's still there, not in your shoes or heart or hair
Bm G
cos i've looked in all the obvious places and still haven't found it anywhere
D F#m
but when i find it i will kill it, so that i can get on with my life
Bm G
and regain composure of my posture and control of the thoughts in my own mind
A Bm G
because love will break you apart.
[Part 2]
D F#m
but now hate is accessible and jealousy is free
Bm G
bitterness is easy and blame comes even easier for me.
D F#m
And lust is a game that you always will lose
Bm G
but who minds losing when each level has new contestants for you to choose
D F#m
and you can yell out Okay i'm finished, now i want to win!
Bm G
well too bad cos winning's not up to you, all you can do is choose when to begin
D F#m
to start losing something different shaped vaguely like pride
Bm G
but much bigger and much heavier and much much easier to find
D F#m
and once you give that away you will know
Bm G
by the sickness in your stomach and the numbness in your toes
A Bm G
because love will break you apart
A Bm G
and love will break you apart
A Bm G
love will break you apart
A G D
love is hard.
