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

Cm
and i will not sing
[Outro]
