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

so i will lay the table but i will not sing
F#m
and i will not sing
[Outro]
F#m
