Mika - Origin Of Love

intro and verses : on guitar , you can try to simulate the piano riff by strumming
one ( or little arpeggio )
on the riff Csus9 ( x3203x ) C ( x32010 ) Csus/F ( x32011 ) C ( x32010 ) .
otherwise simply play C ( that’s what the guitar does in the acoustic version , from verse 3 ) and ,
from verse 2 , you can add a little G * ( 3200xx ) on at the end of each line .

intro : Csus9 C Csus/F C x2

C ( C riff )
love is a drug and you are my cigarette
love is addiction and you are my nicorette
love is a drug like chocolate like cigarettes
i’m feeling sick , i’ve got to medicate myself

( repeat intro )

C ( riff ) ( G )
i want your love don’t try to stop me ,
can’t get enough , still hanging on me
your guilty heart don’t let it break you
and if you pray well no one’s gonna save you

C G Am
like everyone that you fear and everything you hold dear
F
even the book in your pocket
Am F Dm
you are the sun and the light , you are the freedom i fight
G

C G Am F C G Am F
the origin is you , you’re the origin of love

love is a drug and you are my cigarette
love is addiction and you are my nicorette
love is a drug like chocolate like cigarettes
i’m feeling sick , i’ve got to medicate myself

well if god is a priest and the devil a slut
now there’s a reason for loving
like every word that you preach , like every word that you teach
with every rule that you breach
C G Am
you know the origin is you , from the air i breathe , to the love i need ,
F C
only thing i know is you’re the origin of love
G Am
from the god above to the one i love
F C
only thing that’s true , the origin is you
from the air i breathe , to the love i need ,
only thing i know is you’re the origin of love
from the god above to the one i love ,
only thing that’s true , the origin is you

C F C F
padre nostrum , deus machismo , madre deuis , deus machismo
Dm G Dm G
dio de madre , deus machismo , deus esso sancto spirito

like stupid adam and eve they found their love in a tree
god didn’t think they deserved it
he taught them hate , taught them pride , gave them a leaf , made them hide
let’s push their stories aside

you know the origin is you , from the air i . . .

C G
some love’s a pill and some love is a candy cane
Am F
it tastes so sweet but leaves you feeling sick with pain
C G
your love is air , i breathe it in around me
Dm Dm
don’t know it’s there but without it i’m drowning

love , you’re the origin of love ( aaah . eh – o , eh – o ah . you’re the origin of love
love love , love you’re the origin of love love love . . . )
thank god that you found me , thank god that you found me , thank god you found me
