Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]They say the price of love is a
black hole
Where your friends were
Where your social life sits
[C]Pulled into a chasm of family
engagements
And trips to the garden centre
That is [G]true enough if you choose it
Or it chooses you, I forget which
You could [C]marry yourself to an orphan girl
And over compensate on her birthday
Well I [G]don't need koi carp
swimming around my feet
And auburn haired children
blocking my path
As I [C]run to the disabled bathroom
Topping off a 12 hour drinking spree
Well I [G]don't need koi carp swimming
around my feet
And auburn haired children
blocking my path
As I [C]run to the disabled bathroom
Topping off a 12 hour drinking [G]spree[C]
Well they [G]say the price
of love is a lot of things
They say a lot if you give
them the chance
They will [C]say it all and loudly
Sometimes they will say it more than once
I'm [G]reading [Gsus4]you like a pamphlet
[G]That I picked up from an idiot
On [Eb]a unicycle in the town square
He is [D]sad [Dsus4]now, he was sadder then
I am [G]reading [Gsus4]you like a pamph[G]let
That I picked up from an idiot
On [Eb]a unicycle in the town square
He is [D]sad now, he was [Dsus4]sad der then
Now I'm [G]reading you [Gsus4]by
a candle [G]side
[Gsus4]And it breaks my heart in two[Cm]
You can kid yourself that your [Dm]dreams amount [C]to
more than counting backwards from [G]four
[Gsus4]It's a dangerous thing[G]
[Gsus4]Ambrosia
Just [Cm]buy the cream
Apply it to [Dm]the scar and
[Dsus4]wait for anything else[C]
[G]Way down in the plastics
Way down in [Cm]the plugs
Way down in the carpet
[Dsus4]A metaphor need[C]s a better ho[Dsus4]me[C]
[G]Way down in the plastics
Way down in the plugs
[Cm]Way down in the carpet
[D]A metapho[G]r needs a bet[Dsus4]ter home[Gsus4]
A [G]rich [Gsus4]kid stole the ball
[G]The rich kid[Gsus4] stole the ball
[G]The rich kid[Gsus4] stole the[G] ball

[Outro 1]
The rich kid stole the ball
[G][G]
