The Magnetic Fields – Love Is Like A Bottle Of Gin (Guitar)

   D         A                  G
It makes you blind, it does you in

   D         A                   G
It makes you think you're pretty tough

   D         A                  G
It makes you prone to crime and sin

   D         A                  G
It makes you say things off the cuff

          D                 A
It's very small and made of glass

    G       D         A
And grossly over-advertised

   G       D              A
It turns a genius into an ass

    G       D                A
And makes a fool think he is wise

   D          A               G
It could make you regret your birth

   D        A                   G
Or turn cartwheels in your best suit

   D       A                  G
It costs a lot more than it's worth

    D         A           G
And yet there is no substitute

             D           A
They keep it on a higher shelf

    G     D                A
The older and more pure it grows

   G      D          A
It has no color in itself

    G      D                A
But it can make you see rainbows

        D       A           G
You can find it on the Bowery

   D       A           G
Or you can find it at Elaine's

   D          A               G
It makes your words more flowery

   D         A                   G
It makes the sun shine, makes it rain

             D                 A
You just get out what they put in

    G      D           A
And they never put in enough

G       D                A
Love is like a bottle of gin

      G                A        D
But a bottle of gin is not like love
