VERSE 1:
C6
  Please excuse me, but I got to ask
                                      D6
  Are you only being nice because you want something?
C6
  My fairytale arrow-pierces
                                               D6
  Be careful how you respond, 'cause you'd not end up in this song
C6
  I never gave you an encouragement
                                               D6
  And it's doing me in, doing me in, doing me in, doing me in, doing me in
 
 
CHORUS:
| C6 | D6 |
 
       Em(add4)        Gmaj7/B
  The more you try to erase me 
       C6        D6
  The more, the more
       Em(add4)       Gmaj7/B
  The more that I appear 
       C6        D6
  The more, the more 
       Em(add4)         Gmaj7/B
  The more you try the eraser 
       C6        D6
  The more, the more 
       Em(add4)         Gmaj7/B
  The more that you appear 
 
  | Ab(add2)/C | Ab(add2)/C |
 
 
 
VERSE 2:
C6
  You know the answer so why do you ask?
                                 D6
  I am only being nice because I want someone, something
C6
  You're like a kitten with a ball of yarn
                                               D6
  And it's doing me in, doing me in, doing me in, doing me in, doing me in
 
 
 
CHORUS:
  The more you try to erase me
  The more, the more
  The more that I appear
  Oh the more, the more
  The more I try to erase you
  The more, the more
  The more that you appear
 
  No, you're wrong, you're wrong
