[INTRO]
[G] - [G7] - [C] - [D]

[VERSE 1]
[G] I love you like k[G7]ings love queens, like a[C] gay geneticist l[D]oves designer genes
[G] I need you like New [G7]Orleans needs a drought, like[C] Hitler's father n[D]eeded to learn to pull out
[G] And I want you[G7] , yeah, like a l[C]awyer/mathemat[D]ician wants some kind of proof
[G] And I want you[G7] , yeah, like [C]JFK [D]wa[C]nt[D]ed a car with a roof...[G]

[CHORUS 1]
([G]) [C] [Em] [D]
Because love is taking that dive, then getting really comfortable and peeing in the pool
And[G] love is a r[C]eal life porn, m[Em]inus all the stuff that m[D]akes porn cool
And[G] love is a h[C]omeless guy s[Em]earching for treasure in the m[D]iddle of the rain
And[G] finding a b[C]ag of gold coins and sl[Em]owly finding out they're all f[D]illed with chocolate
And[G] even though he's h[C]eart broken, he c[Em]an't complain because he was h[D]ungry in the first place...

TRANSITION:
[G] - [G7] - [C] - [D]

[VERSE 2]
Because[G] I love you like D[G7]ora loves maps, like the[C] Pope's toilet l[D]oves "holy craps"
[G] I need you like a v[G7]oyeur needs a branch, like b[C]oys tossing salad needs a l[D]ittle bit of Neverland
R[G]anch...[G7]
And I want you, yeah, like all the g[C]othic kids that look exactly the s[D]ame, never want to c[G]onform
[G7] [C] [D] [C] [D] N/[C] [G]
And I want you like Anne Frank wanted nobody to read her fucking diary!

INTERLUDE [continue G chord] ;

"Because a diary is a collection of secret things that nobody's supposed to read,
that's the whole point of a diary. Millions of people that have breached this little girls privacy
after she was chased by Nazis - kick her while she's down..."

[BRIDGE]
[G7] And if we met in ten th[C]ousand BC, [D]I was your caveman, you's my cavelady...
If [G]we got hot - we'd start rubbin', if [G7]we got hungry - we'd go clubbin'
[C] There's wooly mammoths, but I will prot[D]ect us - you're making me devolve to a Homo Erectus
[C] And if we met in 1780, [D]I would be a white southern aristocratic plantation owner

and you were my dark-skinned servant lady... (slave)

[VERSE 3]
[G] Whenever I could get away from the Missus, I [G7]go to your shed and then I'd steal you kisses
[C] But let's be serious, I'd still work you f[D]ull-time as a slave

There's a difference between romantic language and complete disregard for socio economic trends...
[C] If it was 1941, [D]I was a Nazi, you's a Gypsy on the run - that's a little redundant
That[G] probably wo[G7]uldn't have worked out... [C] [D]

CHORUS 2/OUTRO:
[C] Bec[D]ause[G] love is your f[C]avorite food for [Em]every breakfast, l[D]unch and dinner
And[G] love is the H[C]olocaust - if you d[Em]on't die quick and you d[D]on't get thinner
And[G] love is b[C]eing the owner of the[Em] company that m[D]akes rape whistles
And[G] even though you st[C]arted the company with g[Em]ood intentions trying to r[D]educe the rate of rape,
[G] now you don't want to r[C]educe it at all, 'cause if the r[Em]ape rate declines
you[D]'ll see an equal decline in wh[G]istle sales...[G7]
[C] Without rapists, wh[D]o's gonna buy your wh[G]istles? [G7]
[C] Yeah, l[D]ove is all about... wh[G]istles
