              Intro: 
G Bm G Bm C Cm 
 
            G 
I miss your breath.  
Bm          G 
Labored and wheezing.  
C                     Cm 
Choked up with phlegm  
 
G                             B 
I miss the times we stayed in bed all day  
     Em 
You swore over the phone to your boss  
C 
You'd never felt this way.  
 
G 
You called me the cold  
Bm 
But you're the one who froze out me.  
Em 
And trapped me in a HAZMAT vial in the  
            C 
Basement of the CDC.  
 
G 
How can I let you go?  
Bm 
After all that we've been through?  
Em 
They tell me now that I've been cured  
C                         Cm 
But not from loving you.  
 
              G 
You called me common.  
Bm           G 
Flu like or the croup.  
Bm           C 
You tried to drown me  
Cm 
With chicken soup  
 
           G 
You passed me around  
Bm             G 
Like a 10 cent whore  
Bm        C 
But every 4-6 months  
        Cm 
I came back for more.  
 
            G 
Ebola got a movie  
Bm 
HIV got quilts and songs  
Em 
The black plague got a tapestry  
C 
But I don't even see a handkerchief for me.  
 
G         Bm 
Oh Irony.  
     Em                 C 
I'm cured. But not from loving you.  
 
(bridge)  
                     Em 
I started to realize you didn't need me  
    C                            G 
The moment you forgot whether to starve or feed me  
C             G       C            G 
It's easy for you to call me your ex 
D  
But now how do you explain all those wads  
Of kleenex.  
 
G                      Bm 
You couldn't fight me, sent a man to the moon instead  
Em                                       C 
Now all I do is wonder who's keeping you up tonight in your bed.  
 
G          Bm 
I'm cured, I'm cured. 
    Em                   C 
But not from loving you.  
G 
I'm cured. 
Bm    Em 
But not from loving you.  
C 
Achoo.
