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

A#m
and i will not sing
[Outro]
A#m
