VERSE
Am D
The first girl that I fell for was a fair and faithful fighter
G Am
She smouldered with a will to save the world
D
I did my best to help her, yeah I stood shoulder to shoulder
G Am
On the front lines with my visionary girl
Chorus LINK
Dm
I wish that she had cared for me
G
But in the end her ideologies
C C/B Am
Occupied the fortress of her heart
Dm G
I wrote her 15 songs, but still we had to part
Chorus
F F7
And if music was the food of love
C C/B Am Am/G
Then I'd be a fat romantic slob
F F/G C
Well music, it's my substitute for love
BRIDGE
Am G F C
Well I've had many different girls inside my bed
Am G F
But only one or two inside my head
Dm C G
These days I cuddle up to my guitar instead
