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

A# F
everything you made will end up broken

and i will not sing
[Outro]
