Intro: C5 , F5

C5                            F5
I knew our plan was doomed right from the start
C5                            F5
The human body's made of more than just a heart and though it
A5                            C5
Seemed we'd be together for eternity
A5                                       F5               G5
That's a long long way away from how it seemed to be to me
         A5                   F5                            G5
It isn't right that we should fight about the way we fit together
         A5         F5                             G5
Just another complication that is standing in our way
         A5             F5                               G5
And you know I love you so and even though we'll make a monster
         A5         F5                             G5
It's a beautiful disaster that's too terrible to simply throw away

    C5                        F5
Our arteries are red and our veins remain blue
    C5                        F5
But even so our damaged blood trickles through it's
A5                F5        C5
True that all our relatives died from the
A5                  F5            C5
Blood that trickled round their insides and so far
A5                             F5             C5
We've lived our lives thinking everything was fine, not
A5                               F5               G5
Thinking of the trouble bourne inside us at the time and now we've
A5                F5                                 G5
Come to find the sum is greater than the parts that make it, this
A5          F5                                G5
Hereditary sorrow was kept quiet through the years, oh the
A5               F5                                  G5
Grief and the relief our parents felt when we we're healthy new born
A5              F5                          G5
Babies we don't get; because genetics is a science made of tears.
