   G              C               G 
My love is like a box it's big and open   
    G          C               D Dsus4 
And inside you know you want to climb    
           C          D  
but if you find someone like you 
Em           C 
to share the space   
  C       D       G 
my box can be sublime 
   G              C               G 
but a love is like a box it does fold easily 
    G          C               D Dsus4                             
and suddenly it's not quite what it seems  
           C          D  
and if our love should ever fold    
Em           C                                 
they'll shut you up in that box 
  C       D       G                                           
and I'll tape it up so you can never go  
   G              C               G 
and it won't be with weak cello tape  
    G          C               D Dsus4                                    
and it won't be with weak masking tape  
           C          D   
it'll be with branding duct tape yeah    
Em           C                                 
im gonna tape you in 
        C                                                
and i'll reinforce the corners so you 
D Dsus4                                         
can't kick it in 
C 
never leave me-if 
D

C                                                        
never leave me if 
D                                                        
you- ike fresh air and 
C                                                        
never leave me if 
D                                                        
you like living and      
C                                                
never leave me if you 
D                                                        
like your heart beating  
Dsus4                                            
cause my 
G              C              G 
love is like a box it's decomposable     
      G           C           D Dsus4                                                                         
and it can disappear without a trace     
          C        D 
and if you keep on trying 
    Em            C                                             
to esacpe from that box  
                      D                  
I'll throw you in the Thames 
    Em                C 
and watch you slowly drown 
C 
and when they finally fish you out they won't be able to identify        
who you are.... so they'll bury you, in a cardboard coffin 
D 
atleast you'll feel at home 
   G              C                G 
my love is like a box it's big and open  
C      D    G                          
come...on...iiin
