The only love I haven' t screwed up

I do my best to meet her demands, play at romance, we slow dance in the living room
     G                                  F

The truth is I am toy that people enjoy
                     G                            F  
' Til all of the tricks don' t work anymore
Am/E                          Dm          G  
      And then they are bored of me

                         C                                    Em  
I know that it' s exciting running through the night but
                  Am                         G                        F  
Every perfect summer' s eating me alive until you' re gone
