1You went into the kitchen cupboard
2
3Got yourself another hour
        F3
4And you gave
              Am4
5Half of it to me
             C5
6We sat there looking at the faces
7
8Of these strangers in the pages
F6                            Am7
9'Til we knew 'em mathematically
10
11
                 Dm8
12They were in our minds
      F9
13Until forever
              Dm10
14But we didn't mind
               G11
15We didn't know better
16
17
      C12
18So we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces
        F13                                  Am14
19And it did our thinking while we lived our lives
   C15
20It counted up our feelings
21
22And divided them up even
       F16                               Am17
23And it called that calculation perfect love
24
25
            Dm18                 F19
26Didn't even know that love was bigger
            Dm20
27Didn't even know
              G21
28That love was so, so

F29
41Ohh Ohh Ohh
42
43
      C30
44So we made the hard decision
45
46And we each made an incision
         F31
47Past our muscles and our bones
        Am32
48Saw our hearts were little stones
           C33
49Pulled 'em out they weren't beating
50
51And we weren't even bleeding
      F34                             Am35
52As we lay 'em on the granite counter top
53
54
            Dm36
55We beat 'em up
             F37
56Against each other
            Dm38
57We beat 'em up
             F39
58Against each other
              Dm40
59We struck 'em hard
             F41
60Against each other
              Dm42
61We struck 'em so hard
                   C43
62So hard until they sparked
63
64
         F44
