Cupids Dead

[Intro]
Eb7 Ab7 Eb7 Ab7
Eb7#9 E7#9 Eb7#9 Eb7#9

[Verse 1]
        Eb7#9
Well, I read the news today oh boy,
About a tragic comedy
Newspaper hinted suicide,
The letterhead read Dear Johnny
A tainted truth was all it said,
Sleep tight now that you've made your bed
An arrow that once pierced your heart
Points to the apple on your head

[Pre-Chorus]
B9 Bb9        Ebsus4 Eb Gb7
      To every             story
B9 Bb7#9
   And, Monday morning's

[Chorus]
  Eb7#9
Cupid's dead, headlines read,
Cupid's dead, oh no, no
Cupid's dead, headlines read,
Cupid's dead, oh no, no, no, no

[Verse 2]
Eb7#9    Eb7#9
     Oh, Romeo, oh, Romeo
Where did our love go, Romeo?
If you read between the headlines,
You wouldn't be the last to know
No mystery yet to unfold,
A paperboy left in the cold
A love was said to never die,
Withered away and just got old

[Pre-Chorus]
B9
  Three sides
Bb9        Ebsus4 Eb Gb7
   To every             story
B9 Bb7#9
   And, Monday morning's

[Chorus]
  Eb7#9
Cupid's dead, headlines read,
Cupid's dead, oh no, no
Cupid's dead, headlines read,
Cupid's dead, oh no, no, no, no

[Outro]
Db
Cupid is dead, deceased,
I got peace of mind
Eb
  Still it's hard to forget,
what it leaves behind
A lot of love lost,
your feelings are wasted,
Gb
tasted the sweetness,
but now you're faced with,
    Ab
the thought, of being alone
Nor more companionship,
Eb
  you can handle it,
just abandon it,
leave it behind,
and look for the brighter day
Db
  Give it some time,
cause it won't come right away
You gotta be standing strong,
hold on to your dignity
Eb
  Don't sit around,
saying look what ya did to me
It's time to move on,
you gotta continue
   Gb
to look for a love,
of a life that's within you
Ab
Cupid is dead now,
it's time to rely on,
    Eb
yourself to cope
You got no shoulder to cry on
Dead
