Heartworms(Chords)

	        
Intro  

E    B   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          G#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                   G#m                  A  
There are those who own their minds 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?  

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               G#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               G#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?  

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?  


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  
La  la  la  la  la
