Conceptual Romance

Jenny Hval


Tom: B

F#
And sometimes I dream you've left me
                      
And I'm so lost I wake up high
        D#m
High on madness
     F#             G#m
A sexual holding pattern
G#m
Stuck in erotic self-oscillation

This landmine of a heart
         D#m        F#
The only one I ever had
I ever had

[Chorus]
     C#       D#m                          
Conceptual romance is on my mind  
A#m  B
C#               D#m
I call it abstract romanticism
A#m  B
C#           D#m      A#m
Conceptual romance is you
B
It's you and I
B            F#
It's you and I

[Verse 2]
F#
This blood bitch's tale

It goes a bit like this:
                                    D#m
I lose myself in the rituals of bad art  in failure
    F#           G#m
I want to give up but I can tell
   B                         F#
My heartbreak is too sentimental for you

[Chorus]
     C#      D#m                          
Conceptual romance is on my mind  
A#m  B
C#                 D#m
I call it abstract romanticism
A#m  B
C#         D#m        A#m
Conceptual romance is you
B
It's you and I
B             F#
It's you and I

[Verse 3]
F#
So I lose my gaze to keep you
    G#m
Creating a curve for the eyes

A rejected body
                               C#m
And losing it is constant  but such a lonely place
             C#
What can I say?
I don't know who I am  but

[Bridge]
B
I'm working on it
            G#m
I'm working on it

I'm working on it
            F#
I'm working on it

I'm working on it

[Verse 4]
F#
I'm high  high on madness

These are my combined failures
               D#m
I understand infatuation  rejection
F#
They can connect and become everything
G#m            
Everything that's torn up in your life

But come with me  I want to show you something
   B
The original wound  the origin 

Of the world
          C#
Of the world
          B
Of the world
          C#
(I'm working on it)
          B
Of the world
C#
