Intro: C, F

C                            F
I knew our plan was doomed right from the start
C                            F
The human body's made of more than just a heart and though it
Am                            C
Seemed we'd be together for eternity
Am                                       F               G
That's a long long way away from how it seemed to be to me
         Am                   F                            G
It isn't right that we should fight about the way we fit together
         Am         F                             G
Just another complication that is standing in our way
         Am             F                               G
And you know I love you so and even though we'll make a monster
         Am         F                             G
It's a beautiful disaster that's too terrible to simply throw away

    C                        F
Our arteries are red and our veins remain blue
    C                        F
But even so our damaged blood trickles through it's
Am                F        C
True that all our relatives died from the
Am                  F            C
Blood that trickled round their insides and so far
Am                             F             C
We've lived our lives thinking everything was fine, not
Am                               F               G
Thinking of the trouble bourne inside us at the time and now we've
Am                F                                 G
Come to find the sum is greater than the parts that make it, this
Am          F                                G
Hereditary sorrow was kept quiet through the years, oh the
Am               F                                  G
Grief and the relief our parents felt when we we're healthy new born
Am              F                          G
Babies we don't get; because genetics is a science made of tears.
