You Grew on Me
Capo IV
[Intro]
G Bm7 C Cmaj7
G D C x2
[Verse]
GYou grew on me Bm7like a tCumour
GAnd you spread Bm7through me like Cmalignant melanoma
And now you’re in my heaGrt
CI should’ve cut you out back at the staGrt
[Bridge]
EmNow I’m D/F#afraid there’s C/Gno cure for me
EmNo dose D/F#of emotional chC/Gemotherapy
BCan halt my pathetic decEmline
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
CNow I fiCmnd it hGard to see
CThis untreated dCmose of you has Gblinded 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
BWherever I look Emnow, all I see F#is you G#7
F#mWhen we first met you seDemed fickle and shallow
F#mBut my armour was no matDch for your poison arrow
C#You are wedged inside myF#m chest
C#If I tried to take you oF#mut now I might G#bleed to death
G#I’m feeling short of breG#7ath G#6 G#5
AYou grew on me like a tuDmour
AAnd you spread tDhrough me like Amalignant melanoma
DI guess Dm6I never knew A
DHow fastDm6 a little mole Acan grow on you
