You Are What You Love

Bm                 Em
This is no great illusion
     A                               D
When I'm with you I'm looking for a ghost
    Bm         Em
Or invisible reasons
         A                                       D
To fall out of love and run screaming from our home

D
Because we live in a house of mirrors
G
We see our fears and everything
     Em                 A
Our songs, faces, and second hand clothes

     D
But more and more we're suffering
      G
Not nobody, not a thousand beers
      Em                  A
Will keep us from feeling so all alone

        Em            A
But you are what you love
     D                  G
And not what loves you back
               Em
That's why I'm here on your doorstep
A                            D         G        D
Pleading for you to take me back

     Bm                Em
The phone is a fine invention
     A                             D
It allows me to talk endlessly to you
       Bm                   Em
About nothing disguising my intentions
           A                             D
Which I'm afraid, my friend, are wildly untrue

          D
It's a sleight of hand, a white soul band
      G
The heart attacks I'm convinced I have
Em             A
Every morning upon waking
               D
To you I'm a symbol or a monument
       G
Your rite of passage to fufillment
     Em                     A
But I'm not yours for the taking

         Em           A
But you are what you love
     D                  G
And not what loves you back
      Em                      A            D         G        D
So i guess that's why you keep calling me back

Em A D G D

D
I'm fraudulent, a thief at best
    G
A coward who paints a bullshit canvas
Em                        A
Things that will never happen to me
   D
But at arms length, it's Tim who said
     G
I'm good at it, I've mastered it
   Em                 A
Avoiding, avoiding everything

        Em            A
But you are what you love tim
     D                  G
And not what loves you back

            Em
And I'm in love with illusions
    A
So saw me in half
        Em
I'm in love with tricks
    A                              D     G    D
So pull another rabbit out of your hat
