Stay Away From Me, Love

           A

Now, did we ever ask 

                   F#m

For you to jump inside?

        A

No, we never asked 

                   F#m

For you to wreck our lives, 

                        B7     E7

But here you are.

                                    A

Stay away from me, Love.

A

Love, you're diseased, 

And I'm sick 'cause I see

             F#m

I could search my whole life,

       B7

But there's no medicine.

              A

'Cause what kind of pill,

        F#m

Oh, what kind of shot

                         B7                          E7

Could get the poison out of my skin?

          A

Now, every time I think 

                     F#m

That I've recovered and I'm fine,

    A

A handsome boy

                   F#m

Let's out a cough and a smile,

                    B7                   E7

And you're back again.

                                   A

Stay away from me, Love.

                      D

Oh, am I too cautious? 

                       A                             E7

Sometimes I think I'm just paranoid,

                D

But I get nauseous 

                   A  

When you come around here

And you're acting coy,

                F#m

And you put your ugly hands

                             B7       E7

On a handsome boy.

(Guitar picking!)

 A

 Love, you're a bum.

You show up with your mug,        

                F#m

And you beg, and you beg

       B7     

For anything I've got,

       A

But where can I go,

        F#m

And how will I know 

             B7                     E7

If I will ever be free of you?

              A

'Cause, Love, you've got the scent.

                           F#m

You've got the scent of my blood,

                   A

And you'll never give up 

                   F#m

When you know that you should,

                            B7         E7

So you find me again. 

                                   A

Stay away from me, Love.

                       D

Oh, it's so obnoxious.

                       A                             E7

Sometimes I think it's all in my head,

                D

But I get nervous

                   A  

When I've got a pretty face

In a pretty bed,

          F#m

And I look into his eyes 

                                B7       E7

And see yours instead.

A

Love, when you come,

You will say you're a victim,

                  F#m

And you'll cry, and you'll yell,

                  B7  

And you'll say I've done you wrong.

           A

You'll show your broken wing

        F#m

And say your broken things,

                 B7                            E7

And I will feel myself swept along.

       A

But all I ever wanted

                    F#m

Was some peace of mind,

        A

And all you ever offered 

           F#m

Is the comfort of a lie,

               B7               E7

So I still hate you.

                                   A

Stay away from me, Love.

                  B7               E7

Yes, I still hate you.

                                   A

Stay away from me, Love.

                       B7             E7

Oh my god, I hate you!

                                   A

Stay away from me, Love.
