one, two, three, four
[Chorus]
G#m
cold flicker, candle sweating,
Fb
thoughts come of fire burning
B F#
everything you made will end up broken
G#m
cheap thoughts and cheaper dresses
Fb
you flirt quick then learn your lesson
B F#
she only makes that moaning when she’s faking it
G#m
fake sounds and plastic feelings
Fb
freckles and skins all peeling
B F#
soon comes the night when i go home.
G#m
Home brings the same old things
Fb
hair knots and safety pins
D# G#m
a man does the same things she always does
G#m
home brings a lot more things
Fb
like sitting up and singing hymns
D# G#m
so i will lay the table but i will not sing
G#m
and i will not sing
[Verse]
G#m
And i thought, what will i do?
Fb
now ive got no excuse
D# G#m
and all this bullshit has landed in my hands
G#m
like i dont want to talk, its not really complicated
Fb
i just dont want to talk to you
D# G#m
i just dont want to know, the less i know the less i’ll care
G#m
which means i might not say yes
G#m
i mean i wont say no, i never say no
Fb
i mean i might say i might
D# G#m
but we all know that i really mean no, so why ask?
[Chorus]
G#m
cold flicker, candle sweating,
Fb

G#m

G#m Fb
please dont make me sing.
B F#
please dont make me try.
[Verse]
G#m
because i like this stuff, i like the playing
Fb
especially with people paying
D#
but its all too much, i cant seem to care,
G#m
it must be something in the english air
G#m
it must be something that i’m doing wrong
Fb
because im always singing the same old song
D#
and im always breaking the same old heart
G#m
that i carry round in this soulless cart.
[Chorus]
G#m
cold flicker, candle sweating,
