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

everything you made will end up broken

and i will not sing
[Outro]
Am

Drinking like a skunk drunk

Home brings a lot more things

Drunk drunk drinking like a skunk drunk

Drinking like a skunk drunk

Am
Sitting round
