A#Oh god it took a while to comGme right back to me
A#I’d give up anything if you’Gmd just let me be
A#No use in shaking me just Gmleave me in my bed
D#Cause mornings are the worst bA#it
Mornings dFrag me on aheadA#  
A#I know I should have seen that Gmhand behind your back
A#But I was launching my own fuGmll-scale heart attack
A#Yeah you sure taught me something Gmwhen you took me down
D#Make the best of moA#ments
Then mFake for higher groundA#  
D#Don’t want to hear about the wA#ind and hFow it Gmblow
D#As far as I see love is just a A#hole  (Gmdo do dFo)
D#Love is just a A#hole (dGmo do dFo)
A#Just like a tidal wave you cGmrumble and divide (wooo)
A#With no regard for all the shGmreds you’ve left behind (wooo)
A#So now what can I do but trGmemble in your wake
D#Sorting things you’ve bA#roken
From tFhings you’ve yet to breakA#  
D#Don’t want to hear about some A#fate we cFan’t coGmntrol
D#As far as I see love is just a A#hole (dGmo do dFo)
D#Love is just a hA#ole   (Gmdo do Fdo)
D#That’s why you fA#all   (Gmdo do Fdo)
D#Love is just a hA#oleGm  F  
A#Armed with demons plenty and pleGmasures oh so few
A#Left to my devices can’t sGmay what I might do
GmWell you turned me around
D#But that’s all over now
