Key: D
Introduction:
Bm A Bm
When we walked the streets together
Bm A Bm
All the faces seemed to smile back,
Bm Em
And now the pavements have nothing to offer
D Em Bm A Bm
And all the faces seem to need a slap
Bm A Bm
There’s an unfamiliar grip
Bm A Bm
on an unfamiliar handkerchief
Bm
Attending to the tears on cheeks
Em D Em
I wouldn’t notice
Em Bm A Bm
With you no matter how vicious the grief
Bm Em D Em
Her expression was damp and crooked
Em Bm D C# G
Grabs onto my throat and won’t let go
A F# Bm D C# G
Won’t let go
A F# Bm D C# G
Won’t let go
A F# Bm D C# G
Won’t let go
Bm D C# G
Save me from
A F#
The secateurs
Bm D C# G
I’ll pretend
A F#
I didn’t hear
Bm D
Can’t you see
C# G A F#
I’m the ghost in the wrong coat
Bm D C# G A F# Bm
Biting butter and crumbs
Bm A Bm
There’s a handsome maverick
Bm A Bm
You don’t talk about to keep me calm
Bm Em D Em
And I can't help it if I create a version
Em Bm A Bm
That pulls you back onto his arm
D G F#
Please don’t tell me
Bm D G F# Bm D G F#
You don’t have to darling, I can sense
Bm D G F# E D
That he painted you a gushing sunset
C# A Bm D G F#
And slayed angry panthers in your defence.
Bm D G F# E D
And he stands separate and ever deadly
C# Bm D C# G
Clings onto my throat and won’t let go
A F# Bm D C# G
Won’t let go
A F# Bm D C# G
Won’t let go
A F# Bm D C# G
Won’t let go
Bm
Save me from
Bm
The secateurs
Bm
I’ll pretend
Bm
I didn’t hear
Bm
Can’t you see
Bm
I’m a ghost in the wrong coat
Bm A Bm
Biting butter and crumbs
Bm D C# G
Save me from
A F#
The secateurs
Bm D C# G
I’ll pretend
A F#
I didn’t hear
Bm D
Can’t you see
C# G A F#
I’m the ghost in the wrong coat
Bm D C# G A F# Bm
Biting butter and crumbs
