falsetto

[Verse 1]
Gm                  Gm/F
   I didn't want to be here
          Eb                         Cm
I never liked your dad cos he never loved the fact
              Gm
That you were you
        Cm
And you liked to sing falsetto
                         D7
Which real men shouldn't do
Gm                           Gm/F
    I'm mumbling through the hymns
      Eb                    Cm                  Gm
I can see him now belt that nonsense out beside you
       Cm
As you try to find a way to sing
                           D7
That makes this thing ring true


[Chorus]
Gm                  C
Jesus, Jesus I need love
                                Eb/Bb
Not stuff about having faith in God
    Cm                D7  Gm
And Jesus, that would be enough


[Verse 2]
Gm                              Gm/7
   Talk of doing things through duty
           Eb                      Cm                     Gm 
Did no one like this man? Even the priest seems glad he's gone
     Cm
So I watch you simply bearing it
                         D7
Hoping it won't last too long


[Chorus]
Gm                    C
Jesus, Jesus he needs love
                                Eb/Bb
Not stuff about having faith in God
    Cm                D7  Gm
And Jesus, that would be enough


[Middle 8]
          Eb
If we are going to hell
                           F
We might as well enjoy the fall
     Cm
Into love, into drugs
                             F
Into any kind of pleasure at all


[Instrumental]
Cm      F

[(Part) Verse 3]
Cm
So you sing the falsetto
                       D7
Let it echo 'round the hall


[Chorus]
Gm                    C
Jesus, Jesus we need love
                                      Eb/Bb
'Cos in the lack of it we fuck things up
    Cm                D7  Gm       Gm/F    Eb    Gm
And Jesus, that would be enough
