Love To A Monster
Overboard & Down EP
Capo 3rd fret
D F#m Bm
Lover, now that you've left me, I'm glad you're unlovely.
G D A
Becuase if you could take all the heat in your heart and just hang it from you,
D F#m Bm
I wouldn't be able to bear the way you cannot love me.
G A D
It's much easier of me make a monster out of you.
D F#m Bm
And so here I go, substituting the glow from your temples,
G D A
all our sighs and our trembles, and each last letter sent you
D F#m Bm
from the cheap little pen of this weak little man- the one singing
G A D
- out his jangling, ringing and hopefully stinging attack upon you.
D F#m Bm
Yeah, so here I go, just exploding the hope we'll be speaking
G D A
some day, years from now, seeking friendship and understanding.
D F#m Bm
Yeah, I hope you get angry, and hurt, and have the hardest of landings.
G A D
And I hope your new man thinks of me when he sees what a number I did on you.
D F#m Bm
I grow tired of this song. Turn my eyes to the blonde in the bleachers.
G D A
She's a lovely young creature. I think she's seeking adventure.
D F#m Bm
I think she's ready to see that the world isn't so sweet or so tender.
G A D
I won't break her, just bend her, and make her into my new ringer for you.
D F#m Bm
I stay in the same comfy town, write the same old songs down, drive the same streets,
G D A
seek the same sense of dull peace, whisper the same sweet words to the chippies.
D F#m Bm
The same walk by the road and where the same muddy snow's finally leaving,
G A D
But i'll fight off the spring; I don't want lovely things,I don't want the earth new.
