You Grew On Me

G  Bm7  C Cmaj7
G  D  C x2

[Verse]
G              Bm7     C
You grew on me like a tumour
G              Bm7          
And you spread through me like 
   C
malignant melanoma
                        G
And now you’re in my heart
C                                 
I should’ve cut you out back at 
     G
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       
I should’ve had you removed back 
      F# (F#7 F#6 F#5)
when you were benign

Continues after the ad
[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          
This untreated dose of you has 
   G
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             
Wherever I look now, all I see 
F#     G#7
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      
If I tried to take you out now I 
      G#
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           
And you spread through me like 
   A
malignant melanoma
D       Dm6            A
I guess I never knew
D       Dm6            A
How fast a little mole can grow on 
you
