D, Em9, G/B, G, Dsus/F#, Em7, D, G, G/B, G, Dsus/F#, Em7
[Verse 1]
D Em9 Fmaj7
In through my veins, without brains,
G D Em9 Fmaj7
I involuntarily take what I need, then I bleed
G
And it comes right back to me.

G Cadd9 G Cadd9 A7sus
But guts only eat and sometimes they repeat on you.
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 A7sus
Keeping you on your toes or crouched above the loo.

[Chorus]
B C
Thats what you get when you
D Em9 G Dsus/F# Em7
Confuse your stomach with your heart.
Bb C
Thats what you get when you
D
Confuse your stomach with your heart.
[Verse 2]
Blood turns from blue into red
'cause of oxygen that it's fed
and I turn back to blue,
'cause I'm losing you,
[Pre-Chorus]
But tummy just growls
not real words, mostly vowels
and I always forget sometimes Y
Gratification can cause constipation
if organs are left to die.
[Chorus]
That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart.
A
That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart.
[Bridge]
D G D
I gained all this weight out of love, not hate
(D) G
I've got so much love to give (give me a break!)
D G D
I'd love to sleep in late, but that dessert looks great.
G
Was it something I said or was it some I ate?
[Instrumental]
A, Bm11, G, D, A, Bm11, G, A7
[Verse 3]
Heart beats in sync, beat in time,
beat in bodies likes hers and mine,
But I fed only one, and look what it's done;
I've run out of blood and I'm chewing my cud and
[Pre-Chorus]
My gastrointestinal festival's best of all
The cardiovascular questions they ask you are
Less than the answers they give you like cancer and
[Chorus]
That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart.
That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart.
[End on D]
