Verse
G5             B5      C5
You grew on me like a tumour
G5             B5            C5
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
G5                  C5
And now you?re in my heart
G5                  C5
I should?ve cut you out back at the start

Bridge
E5      D5            C5
Now I?m afraid there?s no cure for me
E5      D5            C5
No dose of emotional chemotherapy
B5                  E5
Can halt my pathetic decline
B5                  E5            F#5 ( F#5 F#5 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
C5      C5      G5
Now I find it hard to see
C5            C5            G5
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
B5            E5            F#5      G#5
Wherever I look now, all I see is you

F#5                  D5
When we first met you seemed fickle and shallow
F#5                  D5
But my armour was no match for your poison arrow
C#5                  F#5
You are wedged inside my chest
C#5                  F#5            G#5
If I tried to take you out now I might bleed to death
G#5                  G#5 G#5 G#5
I?m feeling short of breath

A5                  D5
You grew on me like a tumour
A5            D5            A5
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
D5      D5            A5
I guess I never knew
D5      D5            A5
How fast a little mole can grow on you
