RE MIm SIm SOL
First things first: I have a happy secret
RE MIm
The next bit's worse
SIm LA SOL
I intend to keep it that way
RE MIm SIm SOL
I can't remember the last word spoken
RE MIm SIm
I got some mail I didn't open
LA SOL
It's an un-read letter day
RE MIm
I know both of us are poor
RE SOL
But baby what are phone bills for
RE MIm SIm SOL
RE MIm
When it's not raining
SIm SOL
All these streets are filled with students
RE MIm SIm
But you won’t catch me complaining it's a nuisance
LA SOL
It's useless I know
RE MIm
A storm rolls across the suburbs
RE SOL
And the streets are as empty as the cupboards
LA
But for the boy most likely
SOL
And the girl most lovely
RE MIm SIm SOL
Given time I could get tired of all this sleeping
RE MIm
The days I've thrown away
SIm LA SOL
And the hours that I am keeping
RE MIm SIm SOL
But for a while I'm fairly happy feeling hopeless
RE MIm SIm
A somersault in a winter coat
LA SOL
I didn't notice a thing
RE MIm
And I say it like it's unrehearsed
RE SOL
But I said it in the bathroom first
LA
"The boy most likely
SOL
And the girl most lovely"
RE MIm
The hedges and the hibiscus
RE MIm
As soon as she’s outside she says
RE MIm RE SOL
“I grew up in the tidiest of towns”
RE MIm
Past the pub where my parents met
RE MIm
Resigning ourselves to modern architecture
RE MIm RE SOL RE
Don’t let the barstools get you down
