Chord/Tab song: Prosthetic Love

[G]My folks had left the TV[Em] on
[G]I was falling in love years
[C]before I ever met someone[G]
Like a prayer you don't ex[Em]pect an answer,
though you a[C]sk for one

[G]Was sure my love would come [Em]along
[G]Like some rare bird and only [C]I
would recognize the song
[Em]Like the actors I've seen on the t[G]elevision
with the [C]stage lights on

[G]What I found was a g[Em]amble
[G]You threw yourself in with [C]me,
made a cross, and you lit a candle
But [Em]we were only s[G]trangers cornered in a [Em]dark room
[G]Projecting slides of cozy l[C]ives on the w[G]all
In the light I thought I [Em]saw you
Was it no[C]thing at all?

[Em]Of everyone I ever [G]knew
I'm giving it all to you
[C]I'm asking everything in re[Em]turn
and I have nothing left to [G]lose
I'll get it back through you
I'll [C]take your offer

[G]It's time I wake and I'm still [Em]alive
Outlived my expiration d[C]ate
Imagine my surprise
[Em]It's a backwards take on The Book of [G]Job
His life was a wager and mine's a [C]joke
Give him what he wants
He will never know
He's tired of trying to let himself [Em]go

Of everyone I ever k[G]new
I've gotten used to you
[C]I've grown attached to you being h[Em]ere
Of everyone I ever k[G]new
I've learned to count on you
[C]As my own fingers
[Em]Of everyone I ever k[G]new
I've gotten close to you
[C]I've grown attached to you being [Em]here
Of everyone I ever [G]knew
I've learned to count on you
[C]As my own fingers
