Like A Light

Tom: G

G

[Verse 1]
         G                    Em
Well, if beauty and pain are one in the same
     C                                G
Then seeing you is like cutting off my arms
       G                             Em
Yeah, you've got twiggy legs and you smoke cigarettes
        C                               G G/F# Em
But one smile sets my heart off like a car alarm
    C                            G
One smile sets my heart off like a bomb

[Chorus]
             N.C.
But you said:
  C             G           D                G
“I’m too fucked up for a relationship right now
      C               G               D
If I loved you, girl, I'd wanna do it right
C            G          D         Em
I'll let you know, if I figure it out”
                C              D                 G     G/F#  Em
You kissed your bottle and you passed out like a light
                C              D                 G
You kissed your bottle and you passed out like a light

[Verse 2]
        G
At that party I Ieft early
     Em                         C                         G
You got really wasted and told everyone you wanted me the most
      G                        Em
So my brain went electric with anticipation
        C                     G     G/F#       Em
And the jubilee of you and me being more than close
            C                           G
Saying, the jubilee of being more than close

   G                        Em
I collected my courage like shiny face-up pennies
        C                           G
And I held out my confession in my hand
    G                       G/F#      Em
You apologized real small, said you’d had one too many
   C                              G        G/F#       Em
I asked you for an ocean and you filled my heart with sand
   C                                     G
I asked you and you filled my heart with sand

[Chorus]

You said:
C               G            D              G
“I'm too fucked up for a relationship right now
       C               G              D

C            G          D         Em

                C              D                 G     G/F# Em
You kissed your bottle and you passed out like a light
                C              D                 G
You kissed your bottle and you passed out like a light

[Verse 3]
          G              Em
I guess Valentine's Day didn't mean a thing
     C                          G
And you like reading poetry to pals
           G
You think fate brought us together
           Em
And you're so glad that you met me
     C                        G      G/F# Em
But romantic inclinations are simply not allowed
      C                         G
Yeah, wanting you is simply not allowed

     G                           Em
So I found this nice guy and he's really organized
       C                                   G
And he smells reals nice when we go out on dates
    G                     G/F#   Em
And I like that he’s kind and he likes being mine
             C               G       G/F#  Em
And he’s not educated in the way the heart breaks
    C                                    G
No, he's got no clue how to make a heart break

N.C.
Yeah

[Chorus]
C                 G         D            G
You’re too fucked up for a relationship right now
           C                    G          D
You know I love you, but you're simply not alright
C           G              D                Em
I hope you find a girl and figure your shit out
             C                   D                  G G/F# Em
I hope she's sweet, I hope she's deep, I hope she’s bright
           C                D            G    G/F#    Em
I hope you love her for the rest of your long fuckin' life
           C                D            G
I hope you love her for the rest of your life
