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