Tom: B
Intro: G Bm7 C C7M
G D C (2x)
Verso:
G Bm7 C
You grew on me like a tumour
G Bm7 C
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
G C
And now you're in my heart
G C
I should've cut you out back at the start
Ponte:
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
G Bm5 C
I picked you up like a virus
G Bm7 C
Like meningococcal meningitis
G C
Now I can't feel my legs
G C
When you're around I can't get out of bed
Em D/F# C/G
I've left it too late to risk an operation
Em D/F# C/G
I know there's no hope for a clean amputation
B Em
The successful removal of you
B Em F# ( F#7 F#6 F#5 )
Would probably kill me too
G Bm7 C
You grew on me like carcinoma
G Bm7 C
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
Em D/F# C/G
I should've consulted my local physician
Em D/F# C/G
I'm stuck now forever with this tunnel vision
B Em
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
