Lovers Turn Into Monsters

Am               F               
Lovers turn into monsters at the 
C           G
loss of all affection
       Am              F       
Almost like it was the affection 
       C                    G
that kept them from being monsters
      Am                   F
And I could have used some warning
      C                 G
I was on that porch all morning
        Am             F     
Smoking cigarettes and sinking 
  C           Em
deeper into doubt

         Am         F             
Could it be I am mistaken, have I 
C                 G
stolen somebody’s baby?
      Am           F             
Is it possible for two people to 
C             Em
need the same thing?
              Am                
It's just the lines, they get so 
 F
blurry
                C          G
Between what is wanted and required
      Am            F          C 
And I don't know on which side 
        Em
his heart falls
      Am                 F
But I know where mine is buried
            C            G
And it's so far from any wanting
Continues after the ad
         Am                 F
Yeah, it needs this to keep beating
         C             Em
It won't go on without it

       Am                     
If I'm still weighed down with 
 F
subtleties
               C                  
Then I'll just come right out and 
G
say it
       Am           F
That I think that I deserve her
          C                 G
More than anyone's deserved anything
Am         F                  C 
Maybe I am selfish, but there is
           G
 no way to share this
            Am                 F  
There’s not enough to go around, I
       C                  Em
 don’t care who else gets hurt

    Am                  F     
But I’m still sick with empathy 
            C                G
because I was stood in his place
          Am           F           
I spent a year quietly dying while 
C             G
he let go and ignored her and I'm
Am                  F           
Sure that there are reasons for 
C               G
everything that happened
    Am               F          C
And absence leads to adoration, 
                  Em
yeah it’s nobody’s fault

              Am           F
But now there is no way to change 
this
          C                G
So I just photographed and framed it
         Am           F
And it’s hanging in a hallway
             C                     
That we have no right to walk back 
G
down

      Am                 F        
But I hope that he feels better 
  C                   G
but I’m sick of all the drama
        Am               F        
I can’t stand to see her crying, I
      C                 Em
 just want this shit to end
      Am              F           
And I want a place to hang out 
       C              G
where the record players playing
              Am              F   
And there’s a thousand movies 
         C                    E
rented for a thousand nights with 
her
