[D]First things first:[Em] I have a[Bm] happy s[G]ecret
[D]The next bit's [Em]worse
I int[Bm]end to keep[A] it that[G] way
[D]I can't [Em]remember the last w[Bm]ord spok[G]en
I [D]got some [Em]mail I didn't [Bm]open
It's an un-[A]read letter da[G]y
I know [D]both of us are [Em]poor
But baby w[D]hat are phone bills [G]for
[D] [Em] [Bm] [G]
[D] When it's not [Em]raining
All these s[Bm]treets are filled wi[G]th students
But you w[D]on?t catch me [Em]complaining it's a[Bm] nuisance
It's[A] useless I kno[G]w
A storm[D] rolls across the [Em]suburbs
And the st[D]reets are as empty as the [G]cupboards
But for the b[A]oy most likely
And the[G] girl most lovely
[D]Given ti[Em]me I could get[Bm] tired of all this [G]sleeping
The[D] days I've thrown[Em] away
And the[Bm] hours that I am [A]keeping[G]
B[D]ut for a whil[Em]e I'm fairly [Bm]happy feeling hopel[G]ess
A s[D]omersault in[Em] a winter coa[Bm]t
I didn't n[A]otice a thi[G]ng
And I[D] say it like it's[Em] unrehearsed
But [D]I said it in the bathroom [G]first
"T[A]he boy most likely
And the g[G]irl most lovely"
The [D]hedges and th[Em]e hibiscus
As s[D]oon as she?s [Em]outside she says
?I g[D]rew up in the[Em] tidiest[D] of towns?[G]
Past[D] the pub where my [Em]parents met
Resi[D]gning ourselves to modern [Em]architecture
[D] Don?t let the[Em] barstools g[D]et you [G]down[D]
