Verse 1:
C                     C7
Shabby boy’s kept you up all night
   Am           Em
Oh sentimental drinkers 
     F                 Em           G
Sing songs that end in fights about fights

Verse 2: use verse 1 chords
And they’ll swear to you that they just can’t help it
That poem in their head
That painting of your bed, it must out

Chorus 1:
     Am                        Em
Does time stand still when you cross the room
    Am            Em
Oh surely it must do
          Am
When they write a song
          Em               G
That goes on, and on about you

No not for them

For your coterie of stars
Your barrel of charlatans

Celebrate, and they will venerate
F                                C
Hold their heads in the morning glare
           F                          C
For with some faint praise, they will hold you gaze
    F                  C
And dedicate it all to you
     F                  C
Yeah dedicate it all to you

Your consequence of biters
Won’t last long

Love will carry on with a thrust
And they’ll swear to you
That they just can’t help it
That poem in their head
That painting of your bed
It must out

It must out...

Celebrate, and they will venerate
Hold their heads in the morning glare
For with some faint praise
They will hold you gaze
And dedicate it all to you
Yeah dedicate it all to you
Yeah dedicate it all to you
