USA vol_tone@yahoo.com D Em Bm G First things first: I have a happy secret D Em The next bit's worse Bm A G I intend to keep it that way D Em Bm G I can't remember the last word spoken D Em Bm I got some mail I didn't open A G It's an un-read letter day D Em I know both of us are poor D G But baby what are phone bills for D Em Bm G D Em When it's not raining Bm G All these streets are filled with students D Em Bm But you won?t catch me complaining it's a nuisance A G It's useless I know D Em A storm rolls across the suburbs D G And the streets are as empty as the cupboards A But for the boy most likely G And the girl most lovely D Em Bm G Given time I could get tired of all this sleeping D Em The days I've thrown away Bm A G And the hours that I am keeping D Em Bm G But for a while I'm fairly happy feeling hopeless D Em Bm A somersault in a winter coat A G I didn't notice a thing D Em And I say it like it's unrehearsed D G But I said it in the bathroom first A "The boy most likely G And the girl most lovely" D Em The hedges and the hibiscus D Em As soon as she?s outside she says D Em D G ?I grew up in the tidiest of towns? D Em Past the pub where my parents met D Em Resigning ourselves to modern architecture D Em D G D Don?t let the barstools get you down
