G                                                            D
Do you remember we traipsed around from pub to pound shop up through Kentish Town
D
Only a fiver to our name, the drunk on the doorstep had more to our shame
G                                                             D
Living over the offy had its trials the fights all night out there and inside
D
And those stews that lasted three days into four and the dreaded baliffs' 
D
returned to our door,

Bridge 1:
C                            Am                  C                     Am
but we stook with each other with all our might, we pulled it together and held on tight,
D
And I'm glad for us yeah Im glad mo chroi but its nothing to anyone cept you and me

Chorus:
C                 G                C                      G

I watched the moon cover the might of the sun, The weird eerie light at a 
D
quarter past one, and I knew in my head as I lay in my bed that you?d stay
D
in my heart til the day I was dead,
G                                                                 D 
We killed each other and loved in time, and laughed til we almost cried,
D
yeah we cried as well when it all went to Hell, And my heart it broke til I 
D
swear it died

And Im glad for us yeah Im glad mo chroi but its nothing to anyone 'cept you and me

C                  G               D
But youre the one for all my life, my true love I have found, yeah you my 
       G

Oh youre good at the things Im hopeless at and I notice what you ignore
D
But its when I see youre not prefect for me, its then I love you more and more,

Bridge 3:

The country may be going to shite but at least we can be proud of our brilliant 
artists, from Hannon and Davey to May and Hannigan.
