You Grew on Me
Capo IV
[Intro]
G Bm7 C Cmaj7
G D C x2
[Verse]
G Bm7 C
You grew on me like a tumour
G Bm7 C
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
G
And now you’re in my heart
C G
I should’ve cut you out back at the start
[Bridge]
Em D/F# C/G
Now I’m afraid there’s no cure for me
Em D/F# C/G
No dose of emotional chemotherapy
B Em
Can halt my pathetic decline
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
C Cm G
Now I find it hard to see
C Cm G
This untreated dose of you has blinded 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
B Em F# G#7
Wherever I look now, all I see is you
F#m D
When we first met you seemed fickle and shallow
F#m D
But my armour was no match for your poison arrow
C# F#m
You are wedged inside my chest
C# F#m G#
If I tried to take you out now I might bleed to death
G# G#7 G#6 G#5
I’m feeling short of breath
A D
You grew on me like a tumour
A D A
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
D Dm6 A
I guess I never knew
D Dm6 A
How fast a little mole can grow on you
