Prosthetic Love

G                       Em
My folks had left the TV on
G
I was falling in love years
C                           Em
before I ever met someone
                          G
Like a prayer you don't expect an 
answer,
            C
though you ask for one

G                           Em
Was sure my love would come along
G                            C
Like some rare bird and only I

would recognize the song
Em                             
Like the actors I've seen on the 
   G
television
         C
with the stage lights on

G                   Em
What I found was a gamble
G                          C
You threw yourself in with me,

made a cross, and you lit a candle
    Em            G               
But we were only strangers 
       Em
cornered in a dark room
G                          C     
Projecting slides of cozy lives 
       Em
on the wall

In the light I thought I saw you
         C
Was it nothing at all?

Em                 G
Of everyone I ever knew

I'm giving it all to you
C                          Em
I'm asking everything in return
                           G
and I have nothing left to lose

I'll get it back through you
     C
I'll take your offer

G                              Em
It's time I wake and I'm still alive
G                        C
Outlived my expiration date

Imagine my surprise
Em                                
It's a backwards take on The Book 
   G
of Job
His life was a wager and mine's a 
C
joke

Give him what he wants

He will never know
He's tired of trying to let himself 
Em
go

                    G
Of everyone I ever knew

I've gotten used to you
C                              
I've grown attached to you being 
   Em
here
                    G
Of everyone I ever knew

I've learned to count on you
C
As my own fingers
Em                  G
Of everyone I ever knew

I've gotten close to you
C                                
I've grown attached to you being 
Em
here
                   G
Of everyone I ever knew

I've learned to count on you
C
As my own fingers
