A5           D5 
Flowers, I sent, 
       A5 
Were found dead on their arrival 
A5             D5 
The words, I said, 
A5 
Inserted foot in my mouthful 
A5            D5 
So when, we dance, 
A5                           E5 
My lead it ain't so graceful 

(isn't so, not ain't so) 
 

G5     C5   E5    A5 
I'm a hapless romantic 
G5     C5   E5    A5 
St-t-tuttering p-poet 
G5     C5   E5    A5 
Just call me a tragic comic 
       F5    G5                A5  D5 
Cause I'm , in, in love with you 

(intro) 
 

A5             D5 
And when, we dine, 
A5 
I forget to push in your seat 
A5            D5 
I wear, the wine, 
A5 
Spilling hearts all over my sleeve 
A5            D5 
A stitch, in time, 
A5                     E5 
Proposing down on my knees 

(splitting between the seams) 
 

G5     C5   E5    A5 
I'm a hapless romantic 
G5     C5   E5    A5 
St-t-tuttering p-poet 
G5     C5   E5    A5 
Just call me a tragic comic 
      F5    G5                A5  D5  F5 G5 E5 
Cause I'm , in, in love with you 
( E5 E5 , G5 , D5 , B5 , C#5 , B5 , A5 ) 
Nobody, can know the, 
Trouble i've, seen 
Nobody, can know the, 
Trouble i, get into, 
When i'm with you
