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 )
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
Bm 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
Solo: Bm E G A F#
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
