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