                           Little Time Bomb
                             (Billy Bragg)

G
One's of them off her food
C                 G
And the other's off his head
     Em                 G           D
And both of them are off down the boozer
C            G
To drink a toast
C             G
To the one that he hates most
         Em               G            D      G
And she says there are no winner, only losers

G                 Em
Well if there are no winners
      C             G
Then what is this he thinks
        Em             G                D
As he watches her complete a lap of honour
C                    G
And he sits in the stands
         C           G
With his head in his hands
          Em                 G
And he thinks of all the things
             D              G
He'd like to bring down upon her

G                   Em                 C          G
Revenge will bring cold comfort in this darkest hour
           G      C          D        G
As the jukebox says 'It's All Over Now'
           Em            G
And he stands and he screams
              C      G
What have I done wrong
      D           Em           C         G
I've fallen in love with a little time bomb
      D           Em           C         G
I've fallen in love with a little time bomb

C     G          Am     G
In public he's such a man
        C              G             Am          G
He's punching at the walls with his bare ad bloody hands
        C             G            Am     G
He's screaming and shouting and acting crazy
         C                      D
But at home he sits alone and he cries like a baby
   G             Em         C        G
He holds your letters but he can't read them
        G                 C     D       G
As he fights this loneliness you call freedom
        Em            G           C           G
You said this would happen and you were not wrong
       D        Em               C       G
I've fallen in love with a little time bomb
       D        Em               C       G
I've fallen in love with a little time bomb
