I Don’t Want To Get Over You

The Magnetic Fields

[G] I don’t want to get [C] over [G] you
I guess I could take a [C] sleeping [G] pill
And [C] sleep at [G] will
And not have to go [D] through
What I go through
[G] I guess I should take [C] Prozac, [G] right,
And just [C] smile all [G] night
At somebody [D] new
Somebody [Am] not too bright
But [C] sweet and [D] kind
Who would [Am] try to get
You [C] off my [D] mind
I could [Am] leave this
a - [C] gony [D] behind
Which is [C] just what I’d [D] do
If [C] I wanted [D] to
But I don’t want to get [C] over [G] you

Cause I don’t want to get [C] over [G] love
I could listen to my [C] thera - [G] pist,
Pretend you [C] don’t [G] exist,
And not have to dream [D] of
What I dream of
[G] I could listen to [C] all my [G] friends
And go [C] out [G] again
And pretend it’s [D] enough
Or I could [Am] make a career
Out of [C] being [D] blue
I could [Am] dress in black
And [C] read [D] Camus
Smoke [Am] clove cigarettes
And [C] drink [D] vermouth
Like I [C] was [D] 17
That [C] would be a [D] scream
But I don’t want to get [C] over [G] you
