Love To A Monster Chords

(ver. 1)
Okkervil River
[Intro]
D  F#m  Bm  Bsus2 Bsus4 Bm
G  D  Asus4  Asus2  Asus4  A

[Verse 1]
  D                      F#m                      Bm     Bsus2  Bsus4
Lover, now that you've left me, I'm glad you're unlovely.
        Bm             G                         D                         Asus4  Asus2  Asus4  A
Because if you could take all the heat in your heart and just hang it from you,
  D                   F#m                      Bm   Bsus2  Bsus4
I wouldn't be able to bear the way you cannot love me.
          Bm     G                A             D
It's much easier of me to make a monster out of you.

[Verse 2]
   D                    F#m                       Bm       Bsus2  Bsus4
And so here I go, substituting the glow from your temples,
        Bm             G        D                     Asus4   Asus2  Asus4  A
all our sighs and our trembles, and each last letter sent you
         D                         F#m                    Bm   Bsus2  Bsus4
from the cheap little pen of this weak little man the one singing
        Bm         G                      A                   D
Out his jangling, ringing and hopefully stinging attack upon you.

[Verse 3]
      D                     F#m                        Bm   Bsus2  Bsus4
Yeah, so here I go, just exploding the hope we'll be speaking
          Bm              G        D                   Asus4  Asus2  Asus4  A
some day, years from now, seeking friendship and understanding.
      D                      F#m                                Bm   Bsus2  Bsus4
Yeah, I hope you get angry, and hurt, and have the hardest of landings.
       Bm            G                        A                           D
And I hope your new man thinks of me when he sees what a number I did on you.

[Interlude]
D  F#m  Bm  Bsus2  Bsus4  Bm  G  D  Asus4  Asus2  Asus4  A
D  F#m  Bm  Bsus2  Bsus4  Bm  G  A  D

[Verse 4]
         D                         F#m                         Bm   Bsus2  Bsus4
I grow tired of this song, turn my eyes to the blonde in the bleachers
        Bm               G      D                         Asus4   Asus2  Asus4  A
She's a lovely young creature. I think she's seeking adventure.
                D                     F#m                         Bm   Bsus2  Bsus4
I think she's ready to see that the world isn't so sweet nor so tender.
        Bm               G                       A                     D
I won't break her, just bend her, and make her into my new ringer for you.

[Verse 5]
               D                           F#m                           Bm    Bsus2   Bsus4
I stay in the same comfy town, write the same old songs down, drive the same streets,
         Bm             G           D                             Asus4  Asus2  Asus4  A
seek the same sense of dull peace, the same sweet words to the chippies.
           D                              F#m                      Bm  Bsus2   Bsus4
The same walk by the road and where the same muddy snow's finally leaving,
          Bm                 G                       A                            D
But I'll fight off the spring; I don't want lovely things,I don't want the earth new.
