C
You grew on me like a tumour
C
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
C
And now you’re in my heart
C

I should’ve cut you out back at the start

Bridge
C/G
Now I’m afraid there’s no cure for me
C/G
No dose of emotional chemotherapy
Em
Can halt my pathetic decline
F#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
Now I find it hard to see
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#7
Wherever I look now, all I see is you

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

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