The Common Cold

Gm               F#m
You said let's go on a break
Gm           F#m
   Sounded a little bit fake
Gm         F#m
   Sounded like you just
Gm           F#m
   Wanted to go on a date

Gm           Dm       Bb     D
  Well you don't need my permission
Gm           Dm       Bb        D
There's no point for me to keep wishing
      Gm  Dm  Bb  D
You were more, more
Gm  Dm  Bb  D
More

Gm       F#m
You're a world class liar
Gm      F#m
   I am a town crier
Gm        F#m
   Try to drag you higher
Gm         F#m
   But the stars, they fracture

Gm          Dm           Bb
And now I'm piecin' together
         D
A puzzle of your face
Gm         Dm           Bb
  But the part for your heart
         D         Gm
It never fits into place
Dm  Gm  Dm
Oh
Gm  Dm  C
Place

Eb        Cm        Gm
Love is a turbulent sea
        Ab        Eb        Ab
Are you scared to swim with me?
Eb            Cm          Gm             Ab      Eb
Swim past the fishermen's nets that have already tried
      Cm    Gm
To trap you and me

    Eb              Cm
I remember when you said
Gm                Ab    Eb    Cm          Gm  Ab
   "There are plenty of other fish in the sea,"
          Eb           Cm           Gm
You said "If this is love, then the current will
  Ab       Eb   Cm         Gm     Eb  Cm  Gm  Ab
Bring you back, bring you back to me."
Eb     Cm  Gm   Ab  Eb
(Bring you back to me)

Gm           F#m
   Feeling a certain shame
Gm               F#m
   Let myself be treated this way
Gm                F#m
   No, this won't happen again
Gm          F#m
   Not over my dead body

Gm            Dm       Bb        D
   Like two dumb dogs walking in circles
Gm        Dm
   Got a feeling
Bb         D
Was I just chasing
      Gm
The wrong tail?

Dm  Bb  D
Oh

          Gm         Dm         Bb              D
Well it's better having your head stuck up your ass

You can't sail

Gm                F#m
He said "You don't appreciate me"
Gm        F#m
   Like a bastard on heat
Gm            F#m
   Two weeks I couldn't eat
Gm               F#m
   But I made my pain discreet

Gm            Dm
   Wouldn't sit the exams
Bb            D
   You wanted me to take
Gm         Dm
   I'm above all your games
Bb                  D             Gm  Dm  Gm  Dm
   This shark won't fall for your bait

Gm           Dm
Plenty of fish in the sea
C
   But I just wasn't hungry
