D5                             D5            G5           D5
There's a young girl with her old man who's too sick to mention
          D5                D5         G5                 D5
She'll be turning twenty seven as she draws her widow's pension
       D5                D5             G5                 D5
But he couldn't catch a common cold he couldn't get arrested 
    D5            D5
Too terrified to answer back 
    G5                D5
Too tired to have resisted
G5               C5
Many hands make light work
     G5
Shorthand makes life easy 
                 C5
When he's out on night work
     G5
Make sure no one sees me
   D5
It all ends up in a slanging match with body talk and bruises
  A5
A change is better than a rest

Silly beggars can't be choosers

Chorus:
G5                                  D5
One of a thousand pities you can't categorize
          G5      A5            B5
There are ten commandments of love
G5             D5
When will you realize

There are ten commandments of love
A5                                G5                  E5        E5
I believe, I trust, I promise, I wish love's just a throwaway kiss
D5
In this Pidgin English
                      
If you're so wise use your lips and your eyes
                          C5
Take it to the bridge she sighs
D5                  D5                 G5         D5
You go cheep cheep cheep between bulls-eyes and bluster
D5               D5
Stiff as your poker face
G5              D5
Keener than mustard
          D5        D5          G5         D5
From your own back yard to the land of exotica
         D5        D5          G5       D5
From the truth society to neurotic erotica
G5             C5
Silence is golden
            G5
Money talks diamonds and ermine
          G5       C5
There's a word in Spanish 
   G5
Italian and German 
   D5
In sign language, morse code, semaphore and gibberish
     A5
Have you forgotten how to say it

In your Pidgin English?

**Chorus
D5
PS I love you
