Substitute

Am D the first girl that i fell for was a fair and faithful fighter G Am she smouldered with a will to save the world Am D i did my best to help her , yeah i stood shoulder to shoulder G Am on the front lines with my visionary girl Dm i wish that she had cared for me G but in the end her ideologies C C/B Am occupied the fortress of her heart Dm G i wrote her 15 songs , but still we had to part F Fm and if music was the food of love C C/B Am G then i’d be a fat romantic slob F Fm C well music , it’s my substitute for love Am D the last girl that i loved she was a low and lusty liar G Am she set my heart on fire , but made me choke Am D her beauty was a sight to see , but she didn’t save it all for me G Am i found other fires by following the smoke Dm G i wish that she had either cared for me or let be me C C/B Am but she chased me from mind and from my home Dm G i wrote her 16 songs , but i ended up alone F Fm and if love is really all that we need C C/B Am G then even all my singing is never gonna save me F Fm C music it’s my substitute for love Am G C well i’ve had many different girls inside my bed Am G F but only one or two inside my head Dm Cadd9 G these days i cuddle up to my guitar instead F Fm C C/B Am but oh , what i would give , not to stumble but to really fall in love F G and i could substitute my singing for the sound of someone sleeping next to C me
