The Calculation

( listen to the song for rhythm , or just play it the way you want/like/Can )

intro : C G x2

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

Dm
they were in our minds
F
until forever
Dm
but we didn’t mind
G
we didn’t know better

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

F
hey this fire it’s burnin’
C F
burnin’ us up
F
hey this fire it’s burnin’
C
burnin’ us . .
Dm
up

A#
ohhhhh
F
ohh ohh ohh

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

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
C
so hard until they sparked

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
up
