You Grew On Me Chords

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
And now you’re in my heart
C                                      G
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
