The Calculation

You went into the kitchen cupboard,

ter got yourself another hour, and you gave our thinking half of it to me.

We sat there looking at the faces of these strangers in the pages (F)'til we knew them (Am)mathematic'lly.

They were in our (Dm7)minds

until forever.

But we didn't mind;

we didn't know (G)better.

So we (C)made our own the kitch compuboard,

ter out of macaroni pieces, and it our thinking while we lived our lives.

It counted up our feelings and di of ed them up even,

and it (F)called that calculation perfect (Am)love.

Didn't even (Dm7)know

that love was bigger,

didn't even know

that love n't was (G)better.

So we so, so, hey, hey,

hey. (F)Hey, this fire (Am)is burning,

(C)burning us up.

(F)Hey, this fire (Am)is burning, (C)burning us (Dm)up.

Ooh, (Bb)ooh, ooh, ooh.

So we (C)made the hard decision,

and we each made an incision.

Past our (F)muscles and our bones,

saw our hearts were little stones.

Pulled them (C)out.

They weren't beating, and we weren't even bleeding as we (F)lay them on the granite countertop.

We beat them up

against each other.

We beat them up

against each other.

We struck them hard

against each other.

We struck them (Dm7)so hard, so hard 'til they sparked.

(F)Hey, this fire (Am)it's burning, (C)burning us up.

(F)Hey, this fire (Am)it's burning, (C)burning us up.

(F)Hey, this fire (Am)it's burning, (C)burning us (Dm)up.

Ooh, (Bb)ooh, ooh, ooh.

Ooh. (G7)Woo,

(Bb)woo.

(Bb)Woo,
