The traction is submission
    G                                   Cm
For every light it's an unwitting pact of attrition
          D                         Em     D
There's a price we will pay for this union

There's a poverty  of love

   G                                                   Cm
If only I could've seen what she could've been but maybe you did
       D                       Em   D
But to smother another lover, ohhh

Did you kiss her teeth of love

I'm stuck there       out of luck when compassion was unrecognizable
C         C C D D#            G         F               G
  Mistaken        forsaken by level for someone lacking

Seroxat, tramadol
   G                                          Cm
Paroxetine, ritalin, stuff it in, come one and come all

Oh the blame, the blame, the blame and the  grieving
    G                                   Cm
Oh imagining a more acceptable photo of you leaving
       D                          Em     D
It's a price that we paid for this  union

Made a misery  of love
