You Are What You Love

Jenny Lewis With The Watson Twins

 BmEm
 This is no great illusion
 AD
When I'm with you I'm looking for a ghost
 BmEm
Or invisible reasons
 AD
To fall out of love and run screaming from our home

 D
 Because we live in a house of mirrors
 G
 We see our fears and everything
 EmA
Our songs, faces, and second hand clothes

 D
But more and more we're suffering
 G
Not nobody, not a thousand beers
 EmA
Will keep us from feeling so all alone

 EmA
But you are what you love
 DG
And not what loves you back
 Em
That's why I'm here on your doorstep
 ADGD
 Pleading for you to take me back                 

 BmEm
The phone is a fine invention
 AD
It allows me to talk endlessly to you
 BmEm
About nothing disguising my intentions
 AD
Which I'm afraid, my friend, are wildly untrue

 D
It's a sleight of hand, a white soul band
 G
The heart attacks I'm convinced I have
 EmA
 Every morning upon waking
 D
To you I'm a symbol or a monument
 G
Your rite of passage to fufillment
 EmA
But I'm not yours for the taking

 EmA
But you are what you love
 DG
And not what loves you back
 EmADGD
So i guess that's why you keep calling me back                 

Em, A, D, G, D

 D
 I'm fraudulent, a thief at best
 G
A coward who paints a bullshit canvas
 EmA
 Things that will never happen to me
 D
But at arms length, it's Tim who said
 G
I'm good at it, I've mastered it
 EmA
Avoiding, avoiding everything

 EmA
But you are what you love tim
 DG
And not what loves you back

 Em
And I'm in love with illusions
 A
So saw me in half
 Em
I'm in love with tricks
 ADGD
So pull another rabbit out of your hat
