Verse
E                          Am                  E
I know people don't really fix things anymore,
                         Am
But if I ever break you, I swear,
                  E
I'll put you back together again.
C
I'll prop you up with wire,
Am
I'll sit you by the fire.
Dm                     G            G7
Sew you up with white cotton thread.
C                   Am                 Dm
And if I ever start to wear you down, I swear,
                           G                        C
I'll patch you up like the elbows of your favourite jacket.


Chorus
               F#m      B7
Because you're lovely,
            E
The way you look at me.
         F#m     B7
You are lovely,
            E                         F#m     B7 
I'll be the bread, and you can be the honey.
              E
Think of you loving me.
        F#m      B7
You are lovely,
            E                       Am               E
I'll be the cup, and you can be the peppermint tea.


Verse
E                                 Am               E
I know people don't really write letters anymore,
                   Am
But this is mine to you:
C
"Dear love, I hope you're well,
Am
Up here there's not much to tell.
Dm                G           G7
But I can say I'm doing fine.
C
Outside it's raining like a machine gun,
Am
Days like these you miss the sun.
Dm              G               C
In other words, wish you were here."


Chorus
                F#m     B7
Because you're lovely,
             E
The way you look at me.
         F#m     B7
You are lovely,
             E                         F#m      B7
I'll be the bread, and you can be the honey.
              E
Think of you loving me.
         F#m     B7
You are lovely, 
             E                       Am              E
I'll be the cup, and you can be the peppermint tea.
