Am D The first girl that I fell for was a fair and faithful fighter G Am She smouldered with a will to save the world Am D I did my best to help her, yeah I stood shoulder to shoulder G Am On the front lines with my visionary girl Dm I wish that she had cared for me G But in the end her ideologies C C Am Occupied the fortress of her heart Dm G I wrote her 15 songs, but still we had to part F Fm And if music was the food of love C C Am G Then I'd be a fat romantic slob F Fm C Well music, it's my substitute for love Am D The last girl that I loved she was a low and lusty liar G Am She set my heart on fire, but made me choke Am D Her beauty was a sight to see, but she didn't save it all for me G Am I found other fires by following the smoke Dm G I wish that she had either cared for me or let be me C C Am But she chased me from mind and from my home Dm G I wrote her 16 songs, but I ended up alone F Fm And if love is really all that we need C C Am G Then even all my singing is never gonna save me F Fm C Music it's my substitute for love Am G C Well I've had many different girls inside my bed Am G F But only one or two inside my head Dm Cadd9 G These days I cuddle up to my guitar instead F Fm C C Am But oh, what I would give, not to stumble but to really fall in love F G And I could substitute my singing for the sound C of someone sleeping next to me
