Intro RE/REmaj7 MIm/MIm7 LA/LA6 X2
VERSE 1
RE MIm LA
The word's on the street: you've found someone new.
RE MIm LA
If he looks nothing like me I'm so happy for you.
DO LA RE FA#
I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the church -
DO LA RE
she's trying to replace me, but it'll never work.
SIm
'Cos every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
MIm SOL
And every time he kisses you it leaves behind the
RE
bitter taste of saccharine.
VERSE 2
A bad cover version of love is not the real thing.
Bikini-clad girl on the front who invited you in.
Such great disappointment when you got him home -
the original was so good; the one you no longer own.
And every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
And every time he kisses you, you get the taste of saccharine.
It's not easy to forget me, it's so hard to disconnect
When it's electronically reprocessed to give a more life-like effect.
CHORUS
(Not really sure of the chord here probably G)
Aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations that
RE
got it so wrong
RE MIm
It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the two of them
could talk
LA SOL
Like the Stones since the Eighties, like the last days
RE
of Southfork.
RE MIm
Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV, the second side of "'Til the Band Comes in"
LA
Like an own-brand box of cornflakes: he's going to let
RE
you down my friend.
