Dan Mangan – Melody (Guitar)

C
So Melody chose me

C                       Dm
Then Melody changed her mind

                       G7
I should be over it now, but I ain't over it now

       C
That's why I'd rather be lonely

C                         Dm
Than be somebody's wasted time

                       G7
I should be over it now, but I ain't over it now

     C
They always gotta go when you want 'em to stay

        C
So it's better not to love in case it's taken away

        C
"It's alright, it's fine

         C
You will find in time"

        F
This is what they say

       Dm               G7
To the ones that stay behind

     C
They always gotta go when you want 'em to stay

        C
So it's better not to love in case it's taken away and

Dm
Just when you think you've got a foot in the door

       G7
Is the moment you see that she's not there anymore

   C
So why did Melody choose me

                   F
If I'm not the choosing kind?

                    G7
Stop messing with my mind

       C
I have felt what it feels like

     F               Dm     G7
To be chosen and then unchosen

     C
They always gotts go when you want 'em to stay

        C
So it's better not to love in case it's taken away

C
Just when you think you've got some skin in the game and

C
Just when you think the tides are turning your way

Dm
Just when you think you've got a bird in the hand

       G7
It's a shakedown, broken to a shell of a man

   C
So why did Melody choose me?

If I'm not the choosing kind?

                   G7
Stop messing with my mind...
