[Verse 1]
Fm Fm7 Fm6 Fm
Mostly I never knew which way was out
Fm
Once it was on, it was on and that was that
Fm Fm7 Fm6 Fm
The umbilicus was a force that they'd found in rabid blood, then I spin on my wheel
Fm
Like a laboratory rat
Fm Fm7 Fm6 Fm
I was an electrical storm on the bathroom floor, clutching the bowl
Fm
My blood was for the gags and other people's diseases
Fm Fm7 Fm6
My monstrous little memory had swallowed me whole
Fm Cm
It was the year I officially became the bride of Jesus
[Chorus]
Bbm
In love, in love, in love you laugh
Fm Fm7 Fm6
In love you move, I move and one more time with feeling
Fm
For love, you love, I laugh, you love
Fm Cm Bbm
Saw you in heart and the stars are splashed across the ceiling
[Verse 2]
Fm Fm7 Fm6 Fm
Oh, the urge to kill somebody was basically overwhelming
Fm
I had such hard blues down there in the supermarket queues
Fm Fm7 Fm6 Fm
And I had a sudden urge to become someone, someone like you who started out with less
Fm
Than anyone I ever knew
[Chorus]
Cm
In love, in love, I love, you love, I laugh, you love
Cm Bbm
I move, you move and one more time with feeling
Bbm
I love, you love, I laugh, you love

I'm sewn in heart and all the stars are splashed 'cross the ceiling

Oh, and oh, you come shining softly to the hold of a drink
Fm Fm7 Fm6 Fm
Come as far as the edge of my blood and swim
Fm Fm7 Fm6 Fm
And in the bathroom mirror I see me vomit in the sink
Fm
And all through the house we hear the hyena's hymns
[Chorus]
Cm
Of love, I love, you love, I love, you love, I laugh, you love
Cm Bbm
I move, you move, you move, and one more time with feeling

I love, you love, I laugh, you love
Bbm Fm Fm7 Fm6 Fm
We saw each other in heart and all the stars have splashed and splattered 'cross the ceiling
