Cupid's got A Brand New Gun -- Michael Penn
Transcribed by MH and RF from the album "March".
The song is in the key of C#m although I suspect that it might be easier
to play with a capo on 2 and using Bm etc shapes. The song is in 6/8 time.
I've mostly only put chords but there are a few lines marked with
asterisks that have TAB tips at the end of the file.

VERSE 1:
It's hiding in the corner
of every sacred place
before the ambush you won't want to
**
recognise its face
It slithers like a viper
readies its attack
tears your flesh and soul apart then
clings on to your back
***
not till it turns away can you
feel the pain of all the damage done
and you may notice that this quick opiate
might wear the wings of angels
. . . ****
that's when you realise you've been shot down
*****
wounded unto death by something called
love (____________instrumental__________________)
VERSE 2:
It followed you to hell, Ange
a double-agent who
will listen to your every lie
and never tell on you
just whisper to you true
promises you silk things
but burns the clothes you wear
gives you leave in heaven
and you scream that it's unfair
to force you to compare
but not till it turns away
can you feel the pain of
all the damage done
and you may notice that
this quick opiate
might wear the wings of angels
. . .
that's when you realise you've been shot down
wounded unto death by something called love
. . .
you've been shot down
wounded unto death by something called love...

I play G#7/C as E 4 -- one of the reasons why I think a capo might help!
