Love Went Mad

Elvis Costello

Tom: C

     C                        G
I've looked at it every way I can
F               C
From under and above
    F
And every chance I've had
   Dm        C
My love went mad
G             C              Am
Love went mad love went mad
G                   Bm
You you feel like I feel?
Am
Do you have a heart?
F#dim                  F        C6
Do you have a heart of iron and steel?

Am
Are you a man now you wear a man's hat?
Am
Are you a man now or are you a rat?
F
You go to church quiet as a mouse
Bb                      Bdim
You're a big cheese now in the workhouse
C6
With these vulgar fractions of the treble clef
C6
I wish you luck with a capital 'F'
F
A self-made mug is hard to break
  Bb                Bdim              Bm
A silent partner in someone else's mistake

Am
Every day goes by without a hitch
Am
You feel the urge becoming an itch
F
The boys in blue are hard to catch
        Bb
They're busy turning Piccadilly
Bdim
Into Brands Hatch
              C6
But with your fingers in your ears
              C6
Feeling bright as a button
              C6
Thinking 'Thank God there'll be no more
              C6
Lamb dressed as mutton'
F
Playing family favourites on a tissue and a comb
Bb 
Dying a thousand deaths
       Bdim                 Bm
In the safety of your own home

     C                        G
I've looked at it every way I can
F               C
From under and above
    F
And every chance I've had
   Dm        C
My love went mad
G             C              Am
Love went mad love went mad
G                   Bm
You you feel like I feel?
Am
Do you have a heart?
F#dim                  F        C6
Do you have a heart of iron and steel?
