Introduction: C
C F7M/C
I'd heard some rumours on the grape vine,
C F7M/C
some whispers down the phone line,
C F7M/C G C
and this digital age provides the ocular proof.
C F7M/C
No man's amused of being jealous
C F7M/C
but I dont get over Zallas(?).
C F7M/C
What you do with your life now,
G C
baby's up to you.
F7M/C
Sometimes a man can get stuck
C/G
when scared of being grown up,
F7M/C C/G
confused by playing happy families.
C F7M/C
So I accept that times are changing,
C F7M/C
with people rearranging,
C F7M/C
and there's a new man at your table
G C
up in town pipe lane.
C/G F7M/C
Now I don't know the details,
C/G F7M/C
in fact I've not thought much on this at all,
C/G F7M/C
and I would hate to cast dispersions
G C
or be seen as cruel.
C/G F7M/C
Who cares if his hair is thinning,
C/G F7M/C
if he's home from work on time?
C/G F7M/C
Perhaps he even likes a few new bands
G C
he read about online.
C F7M/C
So what if his eyes are close together,
C F7M/C
some even like that better,
C/G F7M/C
and if you can put up with that weird smile
G C
then I'm sure it's fine.
F7M/C
So good luck with your new man,
C
I hope it goes to the plan
F7M/C C
and that he's not run over by a train.
C F7M/C
Because I bet he is a nice guy,
C/G F7M/C
like a really, really nice guy,
C/G F7M/C G C
in fact he's probably the exact opposite of me.
C F7M/C C F7M/C
He's not fanatical, delusional, obsessive or emotional,
C F7M/C
he wants a job, a house, a dog
G C
when all I wanted was you.
C F7M/C
And even if he doesn't know
C F7M/C
the things that I know that you know I know,
C F7M/C G C
he's compact and polite and drinks responsibly.
F7M/C
So good luck with your new man,
C/G
I'm sure it works out fine,
F7M/C G
let's hope he isn't struck down with a plague.
C F7M/C
So you can invite me to your wedding,
C F7M/C
but from the front row you will see
C F7M/C
that he might be a lot of things
G C
but he's not me.
