Chords

[Verse 1]
G      C           D          C
Try aching every care in the world

G      C             D         C
She's only the most beautiful girl

 G          C             D         C
The more I think it, the badder it gets

 G      C                        D             C
I was swimming along when I was caught in her net
[Chorus]
 G            Em             Am      D
She's got me singing with a broken heart

 G           Em              Am        D
I keep on messing with my mind torn apart

 G           Em               Am             D
She's only forgotten we've been left in the dust

 G           Em        Am         D
I guess my art didn't help very much
[Verse 2]
G      C           D          C
Then the superlove got me again

G      C           D          C
Got me dreaming I could almost win

G            C           D          C
I stopped to take a look around with a grin

G      C           D          C
So much turmoil in this crazy town
[Chorus]
  G            Em             Am      D
She's got me bloodied from hitting the bricks

  G            Em             Am      D
Is this the way the girlies get their kicks?

  G            Em             Am      D
And now I see as if it makes a difference

 G            Em             Am      D
Everyone in love, hating and hurting each other
[Verse 3]
G      C           D          C
Always thinking it's near the end

G      C           D          C
And I was hoping she'd be my friend

G      C           D          C
Lost forever, only wishing again

G      C           D          C
Oh, to be alive and free from sin
[Chorus]
 G            Em             Am      D
Psycho love in The Twilight Zone

 G            Em             Am      D
Drippy soap opera on the telephone

 G            Em             Am      D
I get so close, but I don't belong

 G            Em             Am      D
Straining to identify with the radio song
[Verse 4]
G      C           D          C
Then I see her as if in a dream

G      C           D          C
It's so real, I could almost scream

 G               C           D          C
She's doing her ritual, the same for any man

 G          C           D          C
Just like a movie, it's so deadpan
[Chorus]
 G            Em             Am      D
I'm looking for love in the darkness

 G            Em             Am      D
I haven't a chance at false romance

 G            Em             Am      D
Maybe next time I'll whisper something new

 G       Em      Am      D
I'm so ashamed, so unglued
[Verse 5]
G        C           D          C
I've had enough and she'll never know

G            C               D                  C
I feel like staying, but my subconscious says, "Go"

G      C           D          C
Shed a tear like blood on the porch

G      C           D          C
It's only love and nothing more
[Chorus]
 G            Em             Am      D
She's got me singing with a broken heart

 G            Em             Am      D
I keep on messing with my mind torn apart

 G            Em             Am      D
She's only forgotten we've been left in the dust

 G            Em             Am      D
I guess my art didn't help very much
