[Verse 1]
(Palm Muted)
A          Bm
I lost the passion that
             C#m         D
 comes with living
A       Bm               C#m  D
Since I started university
A          Bm
I took a geography course
    C#m
to learn the datelines
    D
And maybe use a sextant
A              Bm
But now I just press
          C#m       D
 facsimiles

[Verse 2]
A           Bm
And you're exactly who
              C#m
you wanted to be
       D
That's what you said
A                Bm
'Cause you wanna watch TV and
 C#m               D
 sleep all day and lay
in bed but
A          Bm
You're forgetting that I've
        C#m             D
got to go to work and eat my food
    A               Bm
And pay my rent and reproduce
     C#m
and feed those kids
    D
And maybe use a sextant

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m  G#m        A
   I don't miss you
           C#m
I miss the thought of
              D
 what we were

[Chorus]
A           Bm
This is the part where I shut
 C#m            D
 up and let you infest
 my brain
A         Bm             C#m
Wrap your arms around my cortex,
         D
 dig you in and let you drain
A      Bm               C#m
You'll never get rid of me,
       D
oh I'm like a fcking disease
A           Bm              C#m
I'll make a home in your gut
            D
'Cause it's somewhere
warm to sleep

[Verse 3]
A             Bm
What was your thought
             C#m
 when you realised
                  D
You'll never feel naive
 love again?
A      Bm              C#m
Was it pain or was it sickness?
         D
Were you proud of
 who you'd been?
A           Bm
The shyness waiting for
     C#m
 his phone calls
            D
Replaced by apathy and
 A
 dating apps
             Bm
You held his hands,
              C#m
 it felt like flying
         D
Now he's just another man

[Verse 4]
A                   Bm
You'd rather he was inside
        C#m       D
than beside you
A                Bm
But he's talking marriage
       C#m       D
 and a future
A              Bm
He's picking a lock
               C#m    D
he doesn't go into
A               Bm
He's knife in a wound,
        C#m         D
 he's a suture
