Intro:  	Cmaj7Cmaj7
	    C majorC x2

Verse
C majorC
You grew on me like a tumour
C majorC
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
C majorC
And now you’re in my heart
C majorC
I should’ve cut you out back at the start

Bridge
C/GC/G
Now I’m afraid there’s no cure for me
C/GC/G
No dose of emotional chemotherapy
E minorEm
Can halt my pathetic decline
F#5F#5)
I should’ve had you removed back when you were benign

Verse
I picked you up like a virus
Like meningococcal meningitis
Now I can’t feel my legs
When you’re around I can’t get out of bed

Bridge
I’ve left it too late to risk an operation
I know there’s no hope for a clean amputation
The successful removal of you
Would probably kill me too

Verse
You grew on me like carcinoma
Crept up on me like untreated glaucoma
G+G
Now I find it hard to see
G+G
This untreated dose of you has blinded me

Bridge to Key Change
I should’ve consulted my local physician
I’m stuck now forever with this tunnel vision
My periphery is screwed
G#7G#7
Wherever I look now, all I see is you

D MajorD
When we first met you seemed fickle and shallow
D MajorD
But my armour was no match for your poison arrow
F# minorF#m
You are wedged inside my chest
G#G#
If I tried to take you out now I might bleed to death
G#5G#5
I’m feeling short of breath

D MajorD
You grew on me like a tumour
A augmentedA
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
A augmentedA
I guess I never knew
A augmentedA
How fast a little mole can grow on you
