[Intro]
G Bm7 C Cmaj7
G D C x2
[Verse]
G Bm7 C You grew on me like a tumour G Bm7 C And you spread through me like malignant melanoma G And now you’re in my heart C G I should’ve cut you out back at the start
[Bridge]
Em D/F# C/G Now I’m afraid there’s no cure for me Em D/F# C/G No dose of emotional chemotherapy B Em Can halt my pathetic decline B Em F# (F#7 F#6 F#5) I should’ve had you removed back when you were benign
[Verse]
I picked you up like a virus
Like meningococcal meningitis
Now I can’t feel my legs
When you’re around I can’t get out of bed
[Bridge]
I’ve left it too late to risk an operation
I know there’s no hope for a clean amputation
The successful removal of you
Would probably kill me too
[Verse]
You grew on me like carcinoma
Crept up on me like untreated glaucoma
C Cm G Now I find it hard to see C Cm G This untreated dose of you has blinded me
[Bridge to Key Change]
I should’ve consulted my local physician
I’m stuck now forever with this tunnel vision
My periphery is screwed
B Em F# G#7 Wherever I look now, all I see is you F#m D When we first met you seemed fickle and shallow F#m D But my armour was no match for your poison arrow C# F#m You are wedged inside my chest C# F#m G# If I tried to take you out now I might bleed to death G# G#7 G#6 G#5 I’m feeling short of breath A D You grew on me like a tumour A D A And you spread through me like malignant melanoma D Dm6 A I guess I never knew D Dm6 A How fast a little mole can grow on you
