The first girl that I fell for was [D] a fair and faithful fighter
[G] She smouldered with a will to [Am] save the world _
I did my best to help her, yet [D] I stood shoulder to shoulder
[G] On the front lines with my visionary [Am] girl _ _
[Dm] I wish that she had cared for me, [G] but in the end her ideologies
[C] Occupied the fortress of [Am] her heart
I wrote [Dm] her fifteen songs, but still we had [G] to part _
[F] And if music [Fm] was the food of love
Then [C] I'd be [Bm] a fat [Em] romantic slob
[F] But music, well it's my substitute [C] for love _ _ _ _ _
[Am] The last girl that I loved, she was [D] a low and lusty liar
[G] She set my heart on fire, but made [Am] me choke _
Her beauty was a sight to see, [D] but she didn't save it all for me
[G] I found other fires by following [Am] the smoke _
[Dm] I wish that she had either cared [G] for me or let me be
But [C] she chased me from my mind and from [Am] my home
I wrote [Dm] her sixteen songs, but I ended up [G] alone _ _
[F] And if love is really [Fm] all that we need
[C] Then even all [Bm] my singing [Am] is never gonna save me
[F] Music, well it's my substitute [C] for love
_ _ _ _ Well [Am] I've had many [G] different girls [F] inside my [C] bed _
[Am] But only one or two inside [F] my head
[Em] These days [Dm] I cuddle up to my [G] guitar instead _
But [F] oh, _ what I would [Fm] give _
[C] Not to stumble, but to really [Am] fall in love
_ [C]
[F] And I could substitute my singing [G] for the sound of someone sleeping [C] next to me _ _ _ _ _
