one, two, three, four
[Chorus]
Em
cold flicker, candle sweating,
C
thoughts come of fire burning
G D
everything you made will end up broken
Em
cheap thoughts and cheaper dresses
C
you flirt quick then learn your lesson
G D
she only makes that moaning when she’s faking it
Em
fake sounds and plastic feelings
C
freckles and skins all peeling
G D
soon comes the night when i go home.
Em
Home brings the same old things
C
hair knots and safety pins
B Em
a man does the same things she always does
Em
home brings a lot more things
C
like sitting up and singing hymns
B Em
so i will lay the table but i will not sing
Em
and i will not sing
[Verse]
Em
And i thought, what will i do?
C
now ive got no excuse
B Em
and all this bullshit has landed in my hands
Em
like i dont want to talk, its not really complicated
C
i just dont want to talk to you
B Em
i just dont want to know, the less i know the less i’ll care
Em
which means i might not say yes
Em
i mean i wont say no, i never say no
C
i mean i might say i might
B Em
but we all know that i really mean no, so why ask?
[Chorus]
Em
cold flicker, candle sweating,
C
thoughts come of fire burning
G D
everything you made will end up broken
Em
cheap thoughts and cheaper dresses
C
you flirt quick then learn your lesson
G D
she only makes that moaning when she’s faking it
Em
fake sounds and plastic feelings
C
freckles and skins all peeling
G D
soon comes the night when i go home.
Em
Home brings the same old things
C
hair knots and safety pins
B Em
a man does the same things she always does
Em
home brings a lot more things
C
like sitting up and singing hymns
B Em
so i will lay the table but i will not sing
Em
and i will not sing
Em C
please dont make me sing.
G D
please dont make me try.
[Verse]
Em
because i like this stuff, i like the playing
C
especially with people paying
B
but its all too much, i cant seem to care,
Em
it must be something in the english air
Em
it must be something that i’m doing wrong
C
because im always singing the same old song
B
and im always breaking the same old heart
Em
that i carry round in this soulless cart.
[Chorus]
Em
cold flicker, candle sweating,
C
thoughts come of fire burning
G D
everything you made will end up broken
Em
cheap thoughts and cheaper dresses

you flirt quick then learn your lesson

Em
and i will not sing
[Outro]
Em

Drinking like a skunk drunk

Drinking like a skunk drunk
C B Em
Drinking like a skunk drunk
Em
Drinking like a
C B Em
Home brings a lot more things
Em C B Em
Drunk drunk drinking like a skunk drunk
C B Em
Drinking like a skunk drunk
Em
Drinking like a
C B Em
Home brings a lot more things
C B Em
B lot more time to sit and drink
C B Em

Em
Sitting round
