Heartworms

Tom : E
E G#m D A B A B
La la la la la

[Verse 1]
E B D A
Well I guess I'm just here to test your patience
E B C#m A
Cause you're so smart my tricks don't work at all
E G#m D A
Is it my lack of education?
B C#m A
Just tell me why you never call

[Verse 2]
E B D A
Behind your symmetry lies a fundamental difference
E B C#m A
There are those who own their mines and those who crawl
E G#m D A
No offense but, in between the lines I'm reading
E F#m G#m A B A B
You look out for your own, and you ain't gonna look at me that way

[Pre-Chorus]
A E B A B
And it's true
A E
So what can I do?

[Chorus]
E B F#m
Anything to get some of your affection
A
(What can I do?)
E B F#m
Maybe impress you with a song
A
(What can I do?)
E B C#m B A B A B
I'm trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain't no one like you

[Break]
E G#m D A

[Verse 3]
E B D A
I found that postcard from that trip you took to Thailand
E B C#m A
I remember studying all the words writ in your pretty hand
E G#m D A
The little lines the little curves held a sacred meaning
B C#m A
Or so I thought, but I had it wrong

[Verse 4]
E B D A
Now I'm trying to figure out when it was you gave me these heartworms
E B C#m A
I feel them wriggling in my blood, you gonna do me harm
E G#m D A
Right now I'd rather lose this losing feeling
E F#m G#m
That came on when you cooled off
A B A B
Started treating me in this friendly way

[Pre-Chorus]
A E B A B
And it's true
A E
So what can I do?

[Chorus]
E B F#m
Oh won't you be still for a moment
A
(What can I do?)
E B F#m
So I can push a feather through your heart
A
(What can I do?)
E B C#m B A B A B A B A B
I'm trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain't no one like you
A E
So what can I do?

[Chorus]
E B F#m
When I get lonely to distraction
A
(What can I do?)
E B F#m
Maybe impress you with a song
A
(What can I do?)
E B
No easy way aound it
C#m B A B A B
You're the saddest dream that ever came true

[Outro]
E B D A
La la la la
E G#m D A B
