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