[E]Once up[A]on [B]a s[E]ign I re[A]ad [B]a w[E]arning an[A]d i[B]t s[E]aid
'Wh[A]en i[B]n R[E]ome don't f[A]eed t[B]he l[E]ions'
Wh[A]at i[B]t me[E]ant I can't h[A]aza[B]rd a gu[E]ess[A][B]
But n[B]ow I've le[E]arnt my l[A]esso[B]n I'm a b[E]etter p[A]erso[B]n
I'm fi[E]lled up with h[A]igh h[B]opes and I'm f[E]ed up with s[A]oft so[B]aps
L[C#m]ong in the tooth and sh[B]ort on wisdom
[F#m]Up to here with the a[B]che of it
And if the ma[E]tchmaker calls h[C#m]and in hand
With a catch of the d[E]ay I'll rise to the b[B]ait
But it'll still be m[E]ore than a heart can take
M[C#m]ore than feeling great
[E]More than a tongue can t[B]ell
I'd n[E]eed to t[A]ake le[B]ave o[E]f my s[A]ens[B]es to g[B]et a moment's r[E]est[A][B]
F[E]ollowing in footst[A]eps[B]
F[E]ootsure in fa[A]ncy [B]dre[E]ss[A][B][B]
H[C#m]ead in my hands I'm m[B]aking plans
H[F#m]oovering up for the d[B]ay
When the ma[E]tchmaker calls h[C#m]and in hand
With the catch of the d[E]ay I'll raise to the b[B]ait
But it'll still be m[E]ore then a heart can take
M[C#m]ore than feeling great
M[E]ore than a tongue can t[B]ell
Instrumental break: F# G#m B C# F# G#m B C#
And the i[C#m]tch to get r[G#m]ich quick
Has n[A]ever been so h[B]ard to reach
With my h[E]ands tied beh[A]ind[B] my b[E]ack[A][B]
S[E]hin deep in cem[A]ent a[B]nd s[E]and[A][B][B]
Just like the anchor-m[E]an I broke loose
And cr[C#m]ashed to the sea bed
Cl[E]utching the shortest st[B]raw
And if you threw me a li[E]ne that's as smart as you t[C#m]hink
It wouldn't stop me si[E]nking down to cry
On what fl[B]ashed before my e[E]yes[C#m][E][B]
Repeat E C#m E B and fade
