  And it's doing me in, doing me in, doing me iD6n, doing me in, doing me in

  The more, the more 
  The more that I appear 
  Oh the more, the more

VERSE 1:

Please excuse me, but I got to ask

Are you only being nice because you want something?

My fairytale arrow-pierces

Be careful how you respond, 'cause you'd not end up in this song

I never gave you an encouragement

And it's doing me in, doing me in, doing me in, doing me in, doing me in

CHORUS:

C6 D6

The more you try to erase me

C6 D6

The more, the more

Em(add4) Gmaj7/B

The more that I appear

The more, the more

Em(add4) Gmaj7/B

The more you try the eraser

C6 D6

The more, the more

Em(add4) Gmaj7/B

The more that you appear

Oh the more, the more

The more I try to erase you

The more that you appear

No, you're wrong, you're wrong
