G#                       Bbm                          F#                       
The clouds salivating, drooling from the sky at the thought of the trouble to wreak
G#                                        Bbm                      F#
'til lightning breached their bellies, Caesarean section washes pigment from every street
    G#                                            Bbm        (C#)      F#
And it's high tide, as the sewers rise, and the drains have become obsolete
        G#                                 Bbm        (C#)         F#
Seems there's no place in this town, for something as pure as you seem


G#                       Bbm                             F#
I'm diving into headers, put this pretty face where the boots are flying in
G#                          Bbm                      F#
Been bobbing rotten apples, water to my waist, in a shark-infested bin
G#                                         Bbm                   F#
People laugh, they will call it folly, but we connected like a Yeboah volley
G#                                      Bbm          F#
I'm totting up my worth in stamps, but doing it in second class


   C#            Bbm          C#
I heard that it hurts, and I said, oh


G#                             Bbm                        F#                   
Two wrists, two wrist watches, tick-tick-tocking, second hands slightly out of time
G#                          Bbm                            F#
A constant subtle reminder, one of us will be gone before bells of the other chime
G#                                      Bbm              F#
I requested a room with a view, in the middle of a war between me and you
     G#                              Bbm      C#     F# 
And leave with all the dignity of a missed Panenka penalty


   C#            Bbm          C#
I heard that it hurts, and I said
         Bbm              F              F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
     C#         Bbm          F
She smiled at a joke, but I said
         Bbm              F              F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
         Bbm                 F               F#
'til the rats and worms are all interned at least 5 feet above me

G#                                      Bbm                    F#
Draw me like one of your fence, girls, stood erect as a post, head to toe in creosote
G#                                        Bbm                          F#  
We're blocking out all the lapsed-punks, listen them piss and moan, counting out major notes
G#                              Bbm             F#
Banned from every bar in town, snooker balls a weapon made
G#                              Bbm                F#
Snooker cue held upside down, propelled like helicopter blade


   C#            Bbm          C#
I heard that it hurts, and I said
         Bbm              F              F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
     C#         Bbm          F
She smiled at a joke, but I said
         Bbm              F              F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
         Bbm                 F               F#
'til the rats and worms are all interned at least 5 feet above me
         Bbm              F              F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
         Bbm                 F               F#
'til the rats and worms are all interned at least 5 feet above me


      G#                  Bbm                              F#
The crowds celebrating, drooling from each side with the thought of the trouble to wreak
G#                             Bbm               F#
And you hear them singing, in every room, from nursery to tomb
     G# (fade out)
Ex-boyfriend give us a song, ex-boyfriend, boyfriend give us a song
