Okkervil River
Love To A Monster
Overboard & Down EP
Capo 3rd fret
LoDver, now that you've leF#mft me, I'm glad you're unBmlovely.
Becuase if you could taGke all the heat in your heDart and just hang it from Ayou,
I Dwouldn't be able to beaF#mr the way you cannot lovBme me.
It's much easier Gof me make a moAnster out of yDou.
And Dso here I go, substiF#mtuting the glow from your Bmtemples,
all our sighs and our tGrembles, Dand each last letteAr sent you
frDom the cheap little pen of this wF#meak little man- the one Bmsinging 
- out his jangling, riGnging and hopefully stiAnging attack upon yoDu.
Yeah, Dso here I go, just expF#mloding the hope we'll be spBmeaking
some day, years from now, Gseeking fDriendship and undersAtanding.
Yeah, DI hope you get angry, aF#mnd hurt, and have the hardest of laBmndings.
And I hope your new mGan thinks of me when he sAees what a number I did on yDou.
I grow tiDred of this song. Turn my eyF#mes to the blonde in the bleaBmchers.
She's a lovely young creGature. DI think she's seeking adveAnture.
I think she's reDady to see that the woF#mrld isn't so sweet or so teBmnder.
I won't break her, just bGend her, and make her inAto my new ringer for yDou.
I stay in the sDame comfy town, write the saF#mme old songs down, drive the sBmame streets,
seek the same sense of dGull peace, wDhisper the same sweet words to the Achippies.
The same waDlk by the road and where the saF#mme muddy snow's finally lBmeaving,
But i'll fight off the springG; I don't want lovely thAings,I don't want the earth nDew.

Love To A Monster

Overboard & Down EP

Capo 3rd fret

D F#m Bm

Lover, now that you've left me, I'm glad you're unlovely.

G D A

Becuase if you could take all the heat in your heart and just hang it from you,

D F#m Bm

I wouldn't be able to bear the way you cannot love me.

G A D

It's much easier of me make a monster out of you.

D F#m Bm

And so here I go, substituting the glow from your temples,

G D A

all our sighs and our trembles, and each last letter sent you

D F#m Bm

from the cheap little pen of this weak little man- the one singing

G A D

- out his jangling, ringing and hopefully stinging attack upon you.

D F#m Bm

Yeah, so here I go, just exploding the hope we'll be speaking

G D A

some day, years from now, seeking friendship and understanding.

D F#m Bm

Yeah, I hope you get angry, and hurt, and have the hardest of landings.

G A D

And I hope your new man thinks of me when he sees what a number I did on you.

D F#m Bm

I grow tired of this song. Turn my eyes to the blonde in the bleachers.

G D A

She's a lovely young creature. I think she's seeking adventure.

D F#m Bm

I think she's ready to see that the world isn't so sweet or so tender.

G A D

I won't break her, just bend her, and make her into my new ringer for you.

D F#m Bm

I stay in the same comfy town, write the same old songs down, drive the same streets,

G D A

seek the same sense of dull peace, whisper the same sweet words to the chippies.

D F#m Bm

The same walk by the road and where the same muddy snow's finally leaving,

G A D

But i'll fight off the spring; I don't want lovely things,I don't want the earth new.
