* strum once
[Intro]
B C#m D#m E x2
[Verse]
B           C#m                 D#m      E 
I lost the passion that comes with living 
B        C#m       D#m     E 
Since I started university 
B         C#m                D#m 
I took a geography course to learn the datelines 
      E* 
And maybe use a sextant 
B  C#m          D#m            E 
But now I just press facsimiles
[Verse]
B            C#m                    D#m 
And you're exactly who you wanted to be 
E 
That's what you said 
B                C#m            D#m              E 
'Cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed but 
B          C#m                    D#m              E 
You're forgetting that I've got to go to work and eat my food 
     B               C#m          D#m 
And pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids 
      E* 
And maybe use a sextant
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m A#     B     C#m D#m 
I don't miss you 
                                   E 
I miss the thought of what we were
[Chorus]
B           C#m              D#m              E         B 
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain 
         C#m              D#m            E*              B 
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain 
       C#m             D#m          E                B 
You'll never get rid of me, oh I'm like a fucking disease 
            C#m             D#m 
I'll make a home in your gut 
             E 
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep 
B C#m D#m E
[Verse]
B              C#m                 D#m 
What was your thought when you realised 
                   E            B 
You'll never feel naive love again? 
       C#m            D#m 
Was it pain or was it sickness? 
          E                  B 
Were you proud of who you'd been? 
             C#m            D#m 
The shyness waiting for his phone calls 
             E          B 
Replaced by apathy 'n' dating apps 
              C#m                 D#m 
You held his hands, it felt like flying 
          E            B 
Now he's just another man
[Verse]
                    C#m            D#m    E 
You'd rather he was inside than beside you 
B                C#m             D#m    E 
But he's talking marriage and a future 
B               C#m               D#m   E 
He's picking a lock he doesn't go into 
B                C#m           D#m*   E* 
Less knife in a wound, he's a suture
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m A#     B     C#m D#m 
I don't miss you 
                                   E 
I miss the thought of what we were
[Chorus]
B           C#m              D#m              E         B 
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain 
         C#m           D#m            E            B 
But it's okay, it's a strategy to ensure I remain 
       C#m             D#m          E                B 
You'll never get rid of me, well I'm like a fucking disease 
            C#m             D#m 
I'll make a home in your gut 
             E 
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
[Bridge]
B C#m D#m E 
It's okay 
B C#m D#m E 
It's okay  
B C#m D#m E x2
[Outro]
B      C#m              D#m 
Eat my rent and eat my food 
            E               B      C#m D#m 
And eat my dues and eat those kids 
      E* 
And maybe use a sextant
