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