When the Romance Is Dead ' The Beautiful South
You'll [A]know when the roma[E]nce is dead[A]
Your [D]make up in [A]a toolbox somewh[E]ere in the shed[A]
His [D]face is unsh[A]aven, the grass ov[E]ergrown[A]
[D] [A] [E] [A]
You'll [A]know when the roma[E]nce is dead[A]
That [D]deathly col[A]d blast from his si[E]de of the bed[A]
Your [D]dreams froze[A]n over, your ni[E]ghtmares on ice[A]
[D] [A]
[E]Everything tw[A]ice[E] (everything [A]twice)
And you'll [D]know wh[A]en love starts to fa[E]de
You [D]burst into [A]tears at each record t[E]hat's play[A]ed
He [D]sits in the [A]sun, you sulk in [E]the shade[A]
You'l[D]l know when the love[E] starts to fade[A]
You'll [A]know when the roma[E]nce is dead[A]
[D] [A] [E][A]
[D]Whenever you touc[A]h her she tu[E]ts or she sighs[A]
[D]One kiss goodnigh[A]t and she's rollin[E]g her ey[A]es, ro[E]lling her [A]eyes
And you'll [A]know lo[E]ve starts to [A]fade
That [D]balanc[A]ing act is no [E]longer ma[A]de
Like [D]penny stacke[A]d high in [E]amusement arca[A]de
It'[D]s not what you[A]'re worth it's [E]the way that y[A]ou're laid
Yes you'l[D]l know when th[E]e love starts t[A]o fade
Like you kn[Dsus4]ew when romance was alive
Each couple you passed they'd smile an[E]d high five[Dsus4]
Like you'll know when love's back on track
[E]Uncontrollable laugh at each joke tha[Dsus4]t you crack [E]
[Dsus4]Giggle and cackle and throw her head back
[E]Her mouth is still smiling, her veins turn[Dsus4]ing black[E]
Her head is elastic but her neck is [Dsus4]all slack[E]
You'll [A]know when lo[E]ve's on th[A]e rocks
[D]You wearing headphon[A]es, him vest and[E] socks[A]
You'l[A]l know when lo[E]ve's on th[A]e slide
[D]Whenever your talk[A]ing, the kids go [E]outside, ([A]kids g[E]o outside)[A]
[D]You'll know when ro[A]mance i[E]s dead
When the lo[D]ok that you get is[A] as ha[E]rd as the bread[A]
You o[D]pen y[A]our mouth but your [E]stories [A]are stale
[D] [A] [E][A]
