[Intro]
B C#m D#m E x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
B           C#m                 D#m      E
I lost the passion that comes with living
B        C#m       D#m     E
Since I started university
B         C#m                D#m
I took a geography course to learn the datelines
      E*
And maybe use a sextant
B  C#m          D#m            E
But now I just press facsimiles
 
 
[Verse 2]
B            C#m                    D#m
And you're exactly who you wanted to be
E
That's what you said
B                C#m            D#m              E
'Cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed but
B          C#m                    D#m              E
You're forgetting that I've got to go to work and eat my food
     B               C#m          D#m
And pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids
      E*
And maybe use a sextant
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m A#     B     C#m D#m
I don't miss you
                                   E
I miss the thought of what we were
 
 
[Chorus]
B           C#m              D#m              E         B
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
         C#m              D#m            E*              B
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
       C#m             D#m          E                B
You'll never get rid of me, oh I'm like a fucking disease
            C#m             D#m
I'll make a home in your gut
             E
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
 
B C#m D#m E
 
 
[Verse 3]
B              C#m                 D#m
What was your thought when you realised
                   E            B
You'll never feel naive love again?
       C#m            D#m
Was it pain or was it sickness?
          E                  B
Were you proud of who you'd been?
             C#m            D#m
The shyness waiting for his phone calls
             E          B
Replaced by apathy 'n' dating apps
              C#m                 D#m
You held his hands, it felt like flying
          E            B
Now he's just another man
 
 
[Verse 4]
                    C#m            D#m    E
You'd rather he was inside than beside you
B                C#m             D#m    E
But he's talking marriage and a future
B               C#m               D#m   E
He's picking a lock he doesn't go into
B                C#m           D#m*   E*
Less knife in a wound, he's a suture
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m A#     B     C#m D#m
I don't miss you
                                   E
I miss the thought of what we were
 
 
[Chorus]
B           C#m              D#m              E         B
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
         C#m           D#m            E            B
But it's okay, it's a strategy to ensure I remain
       C#m             D#m          E                B
You'll never get rid of me, well I'm like a fucking disease
            C#m             D#m
I'll make a home in your gut
             E
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
 
 
[Bridge]
B C#m D#m E
It's okay
B C#m D#m E
It's okay
 
B C#m D#m E x2
 
 
[Outro]
B      C#m              D#m
Eat my rent and eat my food
            E               B      C#m D#m
And eat my dues and eat those kids
      E*
And maybe use a sextant
