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

Outro:
B      Dbm              Ebm
Eat my rent and eat my food
            E               B      Dbm Ebm
And eat my dues and eat those kids
      E 
And maybe use a xxxtant
