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