[Intro]
A D 8x
[Verse]
[A]She's not a [D]picture a[E]bove somebody's [A]fire
[D]She sits in a t[Bm]owel with a p[G]urple hair d[C]ryer,
S[F]he waits to get [E]even with me
She [A]hooks up her [D]cupcakes and [E]puts on her [A]jumper
[D]Explains that she'll [Bm]be late to a [G]worrying [C]mother,
[F]She meets me in [E]Piccadilly
[Verse]
A [C]begging folk [F]singer stands [C]tall by the [F]entrance
His [C]song relays [F]worlds of [C]most good [F]intentions,
D G D G D G | D G
A five p a ten p in his hat for collection
She [A]talks about [D]office she [A]talks about [D]dresses
She's [A]seen one she [D]fancies her [A]smile is im[D]pressing,
[D]So mayb[A]e I'll [G]treat [A]her [G]someday
[Verse]
We q[A]ueue among s[D]trangers and [A]strange conver[D]sation
[A]Love's on the [D]lips of [A]all forms of en[D]gagements,
[D]All que[A]uing to [G]see to[A]night's [G]play
A [C]man behind [F]me talks [C]to his young [F]lady
He's [C]happy that [F]she is ex[C]pecting his [F]baby,
D G D G D G | D G
His wife won't be pleased but she's not been round lately
[Verse]
[A]The girl was so [D]dreadful we [E]left in a [A]hurry
[D]Escaped in the [Bm]rain for an [G]Indian [C]curry,
[F]At the candle lit [E]Taj Mahal
My [A]lips to a [D]napkin I [E]called for a [A]taxi
The [D]invite of [Bm]eyes made it [G]tense but re[C]laxed me,
[F]My mind took a [E]devious stroll
[Verse]
[C]The cab took us [F]home through a [C]night I'd not [F]noticed
[C]The neon club l[F]ights of adult [C]films and Trini [F]Lopez,
D G D G D G | D G
My arm around love but my acting was hopeless
We c[A]rept like two [D]thieves from the [A]kettle to the [D]fire
We [A]kissed to the [D]sound of the [A]silence that we'd [D]hired,
[D]Now cap[A]tured, your [G]love in [A]my [G]arms
[Verse]
A [A]door open'd [D]slightly a [A]voice spoke in [D]worry
[A]Mum went to [D]bed without [A]wind of the [D]curry,
[D]Our sec[A]ret l[G]ove made it'[A]s ad[G]vance
[Verse]
[C]Like Adam and [F]Eve we took [C]bite on the [F]apple
[C]Loose change in my [F]pocket it [C]started to [F]rattle,
[Chorus]
[D]Heart like a [G]gun was just [D]half of [G]the battle
([D]Heart like a [G]gun was just [D]half of [G]the battle)
Like [D]Adam and [G]Eve we took [D]bite on the [G]apple
([D]Heart like a [G]gun was just [D]half of [G]the battle)
[D]Loose change in my [G]pocket it [D]started to [G]rattle,
