The Calculation

           C
You went into the kitchen cupboard
Got yourself another hour
        F
And you gave
              Am
Half of it to me
             C
We sat there looking at the faces
Of these strangers in the pages
F                            Am
'Til we knew 'em mathematically

[Pre-Chorus]

                 Dm
They were in our minds
      F
Until forever
              Dm
But we didn't mind
               G
We didn't know better

[Verse 2]

      C
So we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces
        F                                  Am
And it did our thinking while we lived our lives
   C
It counted up our feelings
And divided them up even
       F                               Am
And it called that calculation perfect love

            Dm                 F
Didn't even know that love was bigger
            Dm
Didn't even know

              G
That love was so, so
Hey Hey Hey

[Chorus]

         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C          F
Burnin' us up
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C
Burnin' us..

Ohhhhh
F
Ohh Ohh Ohh

[Verse 3]

      C
So we made the hard decision
And we each made an incision
         F
Past our muscles and our bones
        Am
Saw our hearts were little stones
           C
Pulled 'em out they weren't beating

And we weren't even bleeding
      F                             Am
As we lay 'em on the granite counter top

[Pre-Chorus]

            Dm
We beat 'em up
             F
Against each other
            Dm
We beat 'em up
             F
Against each other

              Dm
We struck 'em hard
             F
Against each other
              Dm
We struck 'em so hard
                   G
So hard until they sparked

[Chorus]

         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C          F
Burnin' us up
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C          F
Burnin' us up
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C
Burnin' us
Dm
