You are what you love - Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins.
tabbed by woodward.
Capo 2nd Fret
Intro - Am, Am, C, C x2
Am Am
This is no great illusion
C C
When I'm with you I'm looking for a ghost
Am Am
Or invisible reasons
C C
To fall out of love and run screaming from our home
C
Because we live in a house of mirrors
C
We see our fears and everything
Am C
Our songs, faces, and second hand clothes
C
But more and more we're suffering
C
Not nobody, not a thousand beers
Am C
Will keep us from feeling so all alone
Am C
But you are what you love
C C
And not what loves you back
Am
That's why I'm here on your doorstep
C C C C
Pleading for you to take me back
Am Am
The phone is a fine invention
C C
It allows me to talk endlessly to you
Am Am
About nothing disguising my intentions
C C
Which I'm afraid, my friend, are wildly untrue
C
It's a sleight of hand, a white soul band
C
The heart attacks I'm convinced I have
Am C
Every morning upon waking
C
To you I'm a symbol or a monument
C
Your rite of passage to fufillment
Am C
But I'm not yours for the taking
Am C
But you are what you love
C C
And not what loves you back
Am C C C C
So i guess that's why you keep calling me back
Am, C, C, C, C
C
I'm fraudulent, a thief at best
C
A coward who paints a bullshit canvas
Am C
Things that will never happen to me
C
But at arms length, it's Tim who said
C
I'm good at it, I've mastered it
Am C
Avoiding, avoiding everything
Am C
But you are what you love tim
C C
And not what loves you back
Am
And I'm in love with illusions
C
So saw me in half
Am
I'm in love with tricks
C C C C
So pull another rabbit out of your hat
