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

A

G# C#m
so i will lay the table but i will not sing
C#m
and i will not sing
[Outro]
C#m

Drinking like a skunk drunk
A G# C#m
Drinking like a skunk drunk

Drinking like a skunk drunk
C#m
Drinking like a
A G# C#m
Home brings a lot more things
C#m A G# C#m
Drunk drunk drinking like a skunk drunk

C#m
Sitting round

Getting drunk
