a special place (for melloncollie)

VERSE 1
C                                                A slide G
you've been pulling petals off those daisies for such a long time
I thought by now you'd figure out love isn't such a straight line
you knew it, you fought it
but in the end you bought into it

VERSE 2
and now there's a special place in your heart for melloncollie
it's just a symptom of loss and gain, it's the economic folly
you knew it, you fought it
now it's caught like a bad habit

CHORUS (F slide D - C - D - A5, F slide D - C - D - G5 x2)
I won't say...
a god damned word
it won't save..
A    F       G
you from the hurt

VERSE 3
you got a saboteur sitting on top of your right shoulder
he's not immortal but you've got and let him be the leader
you knew it, you fought it
and yet you gave in to it

VERSE 4
well even if I could save.. you.. I couldn't be the one
i've got this disdain for the taste that you leave on my tongue
you knew it, you fought it
but you really want all of it
