Intro: C (and between Part 1 and 2)
1.
C Em
love is a disease
Am F
it infects what you believe about yourself and the others you need
C Em
and love is not kind it won't smile and it won't shine
Am F
it isn't there when you need it. you can't save it and you can't delete it
C Em
and love is cruel and unforgiving and love is usually unwilling
Am F
to give you back what you've been building it will scorch the earth just cos you're tilling it
C Em
and like a cat you've been petting, for every day and every single week,
Am F
but when you need it and when you're feeling weak all it really wants to do is fall asleep
C Em
because love is vicious and love is spiteful but love also just doesn't care
Am F
so you can fight it but when you strike at it it'll just vanish like it was never there
C Em
but believe me it's still there, not in your shoes or heart or hair
Am F
cos i've looked in all the obvious places and still haven't found it anywhere
C Em
but when i find it i will kill it, so that i can get on with my life
Am F
and regain composure of my posture and control of the thoughts in my own mind
G Am F
because love will break you apart.
2.
C Em
but now hate is accessible and jealousy is free
Am F
bitterness is easy and blame comes even easier for me.
C Em
And lust is a game that you always will lose
Am F
but who minds losing when each level has new contestants for you to choose
C Em
and you can yell out Okay i'm finished, now i want to win!
Am F
well too bad cos winning's not up to you, all you can do is choose when to begin
C Em
to start losing something different shaped vaguely like pride
Am F
but much bigger and much heavier and much much easier to find
C Em
and once you give that away you will know
Am F
by the sickness in your stomach and the numbness in your toes
G Am F
because love will break you apart
G Am F
and love will break you apart
G Am F
love will break you apart
G F C
love is hard.
