Tone: [Am]
The f[Am]first girl that I fell for was a f[D]fair and faithful fighter
She s[G]smouldered with a will to save the worl[Am]world
I d[Am]did my best to help her, yeah I s[D]stood shoulder to shoulder
On the f[G]front lines with my visionary gir[Am]girl
I w[Dm]wish that she had cared for me
But in the e[G]end her ideologies
O[C]ccupied the f[C]ortress of her h[Am]eart
I wrote her [Dm]15 songs, but still we had to part[G]part
And if m[F]music was the f[Fm]food of love
Then I'd [C]be a f[C]at rom[Am]antic slo[G]b
Well m[F]usic, it's my su[Fm]bstitute for l[C]ove
The l[Am]last girl that I loved she was a l[D]low and lusty liar
She s[G]set my heart on fire, but made me cho[Am]choke
Her b[Am]beauty was a sight to see, but she didn'[D]didn't save it all for me
I found o[G]other fires by following the s[Am]smoke
I w[Dm]wish that she had either cared for [G]me or
let be me
But she c[C]hased me from m[C]ind and from my h[Am]ome
I wrote her 1[Dm]16 songs, but I ended up al[G]alone
And if l[F]love is really a[Fm]all that we need
Then e[C]ven all my si[C]nging is n[Am]ever gonna s[G]ave me
Mu[F]sic it's my su[Fm]bstitute for lo[C]ve
Well I've had m[Am]any different g[G]irls inside my b[C]ed
But o[Am]nly one or t[G]wo inside my h[F]ead
These days I cu[Dm]cuddle up to [Cadd9]my guitar ins[G]instead
But o[F]h, what I would g[Fm]ive, not to st[C]umble but to r[C]eally fall in l[Am]ove
And I could su[F]substitute my singing for the s[G]sound
of someone sleeping next to [C]me
