[E]Oh well her eyes they hypn[F#m]otised
[F#m]Like a pair of head[E]lights
[E]And I remember how she cra[F#m]shed
[F#m]Headlong into my l[E]ife
[E]So I said now close those [F#m]eyes
[F#m]Stick a pin into this [E]map
[E]And then she said now look a[F#m]round
[F#m]Because there'll be no looking [A]back
[A] [G] [G] [E]
[E]Oh but I've been looking since that [F#m]day
[F#m]Since the day we par[A]ted[E]
[E]But you don't find happi[F#m]ness
[F#m]When you're sear[A]ching for [G]it[E]
[E]And I might have real[F#m]ised
[F#m]I was wasting precious t[A]ime
[A]But I never had the chance to change the batteries in my wat[A]ch[E]
[E]Oh and it's a Mo[A]nday night in J[E]une
[E]And I should be sle[E]eping
[E]But it's [A]so damn warm ins[E]ide
[E]I'm in the garden drea[E]ming
[E]And I've got o[A]ne chair for mys[E]elf
[E]And another for my [F#m]feet
[F#m]Oh but I [A]still don't fe[G]el compl[E]ete
[E] [E] [E]
[E]Well she calls me every [F#m]day
[F#m]Just to touch base w[A]ith me[E]
[E]And the birds upon the [F#m]wire
[F#m]They feel our [A]electrici[G]ty[E]
[E]And I watch them as they [F#m]fly
[F#m]And she lifts me up with [A]them
[A]Until I fall for her [G]again[E]
[E] [E] [E]
[E]Oh and I've been working since that [F#m]day
[F#m]Since the day I left [A]her[E]
[E]I'm making money watching [F#m]birds
[F#m]But I don't feel no ric[A]her[E]
[E]And I should have rea[F#m]lised
[F#m]I was wasting precious [A]time
[A]But I never had the chance to change the batteries in my wa[A]tch[E]
[E]Oh and it's a [A]Monday night in [E]June
[E]And I should be sleeping
[E]But it's [A]so damn warm in[E]side
[E]I'm in the garden dreaming
[E]And I've got [A]one chair for [E]myself
[E]And another for my [F#m]feet
[F#m]But I [A]still don't feel com[E]plete
