Retarded In Love

These are the chords used in the song. The D is sometimes played with the hammer-
on/pull-off that is shown below but can be played without it, it hardly makes a
difference.

G D
They take advantage of him all of the time
Em C
Their fingers rape his cavities
G D
Probing for a hidden cliche
Em C
He's a fruit that got in gravity's way
G D
He's the first to tell you he's full of shit
Em C
Like thats half a compliment for men
G D
Though hes waking up in puddles of piss
Em C
He marinates his metaphors in them
B
And in this moment
G D Em C G D Em
La, lalaladada, lalaladada, lalaladada
C
They'll be falling in love
G D Em C G D Em
La, lalaladada, lalaladada, lalaladada
G D
She takes photographs of people she knows
Em C
She brings out the best and worst in them
G D
And God is buried deep in the folds
Em C
Of her fractured self and the lies that they've told
G D
She used to laugh at everything old
Em C
It was a joke that never aged a bit
G D
But when they robbed her of her infinite smile
Em C
She said maybe I'll just play dead for a while
B
And in this moment
G D Em C G D Em
La, lalaladada, lalaladada, lalaladada
C
They'll be falling in love
G D Em C G D Em G
La, lalaladada, lalaladada, lalaladada
Em D Csus G Csus
I'm right here and I must admit
G D
I've been pining for you
Em D Csus
Your my wish
G Csus D G
When I touch my self I am conjuring you
Em D Csus
For fresh dirt
G Csus G D
when we talk all night and the minutes are free
Em D Csus G Csus D G
I just hope when I cast my spell you'll be falling for me
Because
Em Csus
Falling in love could be the first thing
Am Asus
Falling in love could be the worst thing
Em Csus
Falling in love there's no rehearsing
Asus
Retarded in love

Chorus:
My god this is freakin hard!
Theres pry some weird instrument in there
that you probably can't make sound exactly
the same on guitar, but I did my best.
Guitar 1:
This ones hard to hear, and I didn't wanna
have to lay down four guitars. So I tried
to sum it up in this one.

Guitar 2:
Gets a bit more tricky,but still keeps the same basic idea.
It sorta turns into a solo almost, but without the solo part.
