[Verse 1]
          D                  Em7               Dsus
Go on and taste your dreams, leave me with the bill
    D                                   G5
And miss me half as much as you say you will
        Dsus            D                  Em7   A7
You can make me believe that you'd need me still
              G5  Em7    Dsus        D                     G5
Love may be a curable disease, those dreams, they are like pills

[Verse 2]
         D                 Em7           Dsus
They may dangle you like a worm out on a line,
   D                                                    G5
Or make you the household name just like they have advertised
           Dsus                  D               Em7  A7
Does it concern you now, does it even cross your mind?
                      G5  Em7  Dsus      D                    G5
That "love" could be a misquotation Your dreams, they are not mine

[Verse 3]
                    D                                   Em7             Dsus
And in the light of day, what have you got? Are you for sale or are you bought?
           D                                     G5
Is there a best "if used by" date written on the top?
          Dsus                          D                        Em7  A7
I don't believe that it's wrong to have heard love and dared the cost
                  G5 Em7  Dsus       D            G5
But love can be a mistranslation and lines can be crossed

[Verse 4]
           D                     Em7               Dsus
If you can taste your dreams and leave me with the bill
    D                                   G5
And miss me half as much as you say you will
        Dsus            Em7              Em7   A7
You can make me believe that you need me still
                        G5   Em7 Dsus            D                 G5
Your dreams have been a false I.D. that made you look like someone else

[Outro]
Em7 Dsus
        D              G5          Em7       Dsus         D     G5
And the writing on the wall looked just like water on the windowsill
Em7 Dsus
        D             G5  Em7   Dsus    D    G5
It said love can be a curable disease
Em7 Dsus D G5
