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 C
And now you�re in my heart
G C
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
