G5                                      D5
They take advantage of him all of the time
       E5              C5
Their fingers rape his cavities
G5                    D5
Probing for a hidden cliche
       E5                C5
He's a fruit that got in gravity's way
          G5                              D5
He's the first to tell you he's full of shit
           E5            C5
Like thats half a compliment for men
           G5                       D5
Though hes waking up in puddles of piss
     E5                 C5
He marinates his metaphors in them

    B5
And in this moment
G5     D5     E5     C5    G5      D5    E5 
La, lalaladada, lalaladada, lalaladada
            C5
They'll be falling in love
G5     D5     E5     C5    G5      D5    E5 
La, lalaladada, lalaladada, lalaladada

G5                                     D5
She takes photographs of people she knows
           E5                C5
She brings out the best and worst in them
     G5                         D5
And God is buried deep in the folds
        E5                    C5
Of her fractured self and the lies that they've told
             G5                   D5
She used to laugh at everything old
          E5              C5
It was a joke that never aged a bit
     G5                                     D5
But when they robbed her of her infinite smile
          E5                   C5
She said maybe I'll just play dead for a while
    B5
And in this moment
G5     D5     E5     C5    G5      D5    E5 
La, lalaladada, lalaladada, lalaladada
            C5
They'll be falling in love
G5     D5     E5     C5    G5      D5    E5  G5
La, lalaladada, lalaladada, lalaladada

           E5 D5 C5  G5  C5
I'm right here and I must admit
G5                    D5
I've been pining for you
       E5    D5   C5
Your my wish
       G5        C5     D5           G5
When I touch my self I am conjuring you
           E5  D5  C5
For fresh dirt
G5                C5          G5            D5
when we talk all night and the minutes are free
       E5 D5 C5   G5      C5             D5           G5 
I just hope when I cast my spell you'll be falling for me

Because
E5              C5
Falling in love could be the first thing
A5                A5
Falling in love could be the worst thing
E5               C5
Falling in love there's no rehearsing
A5
Retarded in love
