[Intro]
G A9sus4 G6/B C x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
G         A9sus4                 G6/B     C
I lost the passion that comes with living
G        A9sus4       G6/B   C
Since I started university
G         A9sus4            G6/B
I took a geography course to learn the datelines
      C*
And maybe use a sextant
G            A9sus4           G6/B   C
But now I just press facsimiles
 
 
[Verse 2]
G            A9sus4                    G6/B
And you're exactly who you wanted to be
C
That's what you said
G                A9sus4       G6/B               C
'Cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed but
G          A9sus4                  G6/B           C
You're forgetting that I've got to go to work and eat my food
     G               A9sus4      G6/B
And pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids
    C*
And maybe use a sextant
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em CM7/E    G   A9add4
I don't miss you
           C                      Fm
I miss the thought of what we were
 
 
[Chorus]
G           Am               Em            CM7/E        G
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
           Am              Em          CM7/E*               G
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
       Am               Em        CM7/E                G
You'll never get rid of me, oh I'm like a fucking disease
            Am               Em
I'll make a home in your gut
             CM7/E*
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
 
G A9sus4 G6/B C
 
 
[Verse 3]
G             A9sus4             G6/B
What was your thought when you realised
                   C           G
You'll never feel naive love again?
       A9sus4        G6/B
Was it pain or was it sickness?
          C                 G
Were you proud of who you'd been?
             A9sus4            G6/B
The shyness waiting for his phone calls
             C         G
Replaced by apathy 'n' dating apps
              A9sus4            G6/B
You held his hands, it felt like flying
         C            G
Now he's just another man
 
 
[Verse 4]
G                   A9sus4       G6/B      C
You'd rather he was inside than beside you
G                A9sus4        G6/B    C
But he's talking marriage and a future
G              A9sus4            G6/B   C
He's picking a lock he doesn't go into
G               A9sus4       G6/B*    C*
Less knife in a wound, he's a suture
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em CM7/E   G   A9add4
I don't miss you
           C                      Fm
I miss the thought of what we were
 
 
[Chorus]
G           Am              Em              CM7/E         G
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
         Am           Em         CM7/E            G
But it's okay, it's a strategy to ensure I remain
       Am             Em           CM7/E                G
You'll never get rid of me, well I'm like a fucking disease
            Am             Em
I'll make a home in your gut
             CM7/E*
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
 
G Am Em CM7/E
 
 
[Bridge]
G     Am    Em CM7/E
It's okay
G     Am    Em CM7/E
It's okay
 
G Am Em CM7/E x2
 
 
[Outro]
G      Am            Em
Eat my rent and eat my food
            CM7/E               G   Am  Em
And eat my dues and eat those kids
      CM7/E*
And maybe use a sextant
