G D C x2
Verse
GYou grew oBm7n me Clike a tumour

GI shoulCd’ve cut you out back at the start
Bridge
EmNow D/F#I’m afraC/Gid there’s no cure for me
EmNo dD/F#ose of eC/Gmotional chemotherapy
BCan halEmt my pathetic decline
B Em F# (F#7 F#6 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
CNowCm I fGind it hard to see
CThis CmuntreaGted 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
BWhereEmver I F#lookG#7 now, all I see is you
F#mWhen we fDirst met you seemed fickle and shallow
F#mBut my arDmour was no match for your poison arrow
C#You are F#mwedged inside my chest
C#If I triF#med to tG#ake you out now I might bleed to death
G#I’m feelG#7ing G#6shorG#5t of breath

AAnd yDou spAread through me like malignant melanoma
DI gDm6uess I Anever knew
DHowDm6 fast aA little mole can grow on you
