Intro: C/G, Fmaj7/C, C/G, Fmaj7/C, C/G, Fmaj7/C, G, C


               C              Fmaj7/C
I'd heard some rumours on the grape vine,
     C                 Fmaj7/C
some whispers down the phone line,
         C       Fmaj7/C          G      C
and this digital age provides the ocular proof.
         C               Fmaj7/C
No man's amused of being jealous
      C             Fmaj7/C
but I dont get over zealous.
     C                Fmaj7/C
What you do with your life now,
       G     C
baby's up to you.


    Fmaj7/C
Sometimes a man can get stuck
     C/G
when scared of being grown up,
   Fmaj7/C                C/G
confused by playing happy families.
     C                     Fmaj7/C
So I accept that times are changing,
     C         Fmaj7/C
with people rearranging,
              C               Fmaj7/C
and there's a new man at your table
      G         C
up in up in Turnpike Lane.


Fmaj7/C, G, C


    C/G              Fmaj7/C
Now I don't know the details,
         C/G                              Fmaj7/C
in fact I've not thought much on this at all,
            C/G            Fmaj7/C
and I would hate to cast dispersions
      G       C
or be seen as cruel.
    C/G                 Fmaj7/C
Who cares if his hair is thinning,
        C/G               Fmaj7/C
if he's home from work on time?
           C/G              Fmaj7/C
Perhaps he even likes a few new bands
   G          C
he read about online.


               C               Fmaj7/C
So what if his eyes are close together,
     C              Fmaj7/C
some even like that better,
               C/G              Fmaj7/C
and if you can put up with that weird smile
         G         C
then I'm sure it's fine.


   Fmaj7/C             
So good luck with your new man,
  C
I hope it goes to the plan
    Fmaj7/C                     C
and that he's not run over by a train.


          C           Fmaj7/C
Because I bet he is a nice guy,
       C/G              Fmaj7/C
like a really, really nice guy,
             C/G          Fmaj7/C  G       C
in fact he's probably the exact opposite of me.


Fmaj7/C, G, C


         C          Fmaj7/C     C            Fmaj7/C
He's not fanatical, delusional, obsessive or emotional,
           C               Fmaj7/C
he wants a job, a house, a dog 
           G          C
when all I wanted was you.
         C             Fmaj7/C
And even if he doesn't know 
           C                    Fmaj7/C
the things that I know that you know I know,
     C           Fmaj7/C           G        C
he's confident, polite and drinks responsibly.


Fmaj7/C
So good luck with your new man,
    C/G
I'm sure it works out fine,
      Fmaj7/C                          G
let's hope he isn't struck down with a plague.


           C                 Fmaj7/C
So you can invite me to your wedding,
             C                 Fmaj7/C
but from the front row you will see
     C              Fmaj7/C
that he might be a lot of things
    G        C
but he's not me.
