Love Is Like A Bottle Of Gin (CHORDS) by The Magnetic Fields

[Verse]~
   ~D         ~A                  ~G
It makes you blind, it does you in

   ~D         ~A                   ~G
It makes you think you're pretty tough

   ~D         ~A                  ~G
It makes you prone to crime and sin

   ~D         ~A                  ~G
It makes you say things off the cuff


[Verse]~
          ~D                 ~A
It's very small and made of glass

    ~G       ~D         ~A
And grossly over-advertised

   ~G       ~D              ~A
It turns a genius into an ass

    ~G       ~D                ~A
And makes a fool think he is wise


[Verse]~
   ~D          ~A               ~G
It could make you regret your birth

   ~D        ~A                   ~G
Or turn cartwheels in your best suit

   ~D       ~A                  ~G
It costs a lot more than it's worth

    ~D         ~A           ~G
And yet there is no substitute


[Verse]~
             ~D           ~A
They keep it on a higher shelf

    ~G     ~D                ~A
The older and more pure it grows

   ~G      ~D          ~A
It has no color in itself

    ~G      ~D                ~A
But it can make you see rainbows


[Verse]~
        ~D       ~A           ~G
You can find it on the Bowery

   ~D       ~A           ~G
Or you can find it at Elaine's

   ~D          ~A               ~G
It makes your words more flowery

   ~D         ~A                   ~G
It makes the sun shine, makes it rain


[Verse]~
             ~D                 ~A
You just get out what they put in

    ~G      ~D           ~A
And they never put in enough

~G       ~D                ~A
Love is like a bottle of gin

      ~G                ~A        ~D
But a bottle of gin is not like love
