AHad a Northern lad
BmWell not exactly had
DHe moved like the sunset
EGod who painted that-
AFirst he loved my accent
BmHow his knees could bend
DI thought we'd be ok
EMe and my molasses
But I F#mfeel Esomething is wrong
But I F#mfeel Ethis cake just isn't done
DDon't say that you don't
And if F#myou could Dsee me now
Said if F#myou could Dsee me now
Girls F#myou've got to know
When it's Dtime to turn the page
WheAn you're only wet
Because Eof the rain
Bec   C#m-   Dause
Because Aof the Erain
Bec   C#m-   Dause
AHe don't show much these days
BmIt gets so fucking cold
DI loved his secret places
EBut I can't go anymore
A"You change like sugar cane"
BmSays my northern lad
DI guess you go too far
EWhen pianos try to be guitars
I F#mfeel the Ewest in you
And I F#mfeel it Efalling apart too
DDon't say that you don't
And if F#myou could Dsee me now
Said if F#myou could Dsee me now
Girls F#myou've got to know
When it's Dtime to turn the page
WheAn you're only wet
Because Eof the rain
Bec   C#m-   Dause
Because Aof the Erain
Bec   C#m-   Dause

Had a Northern lad

Well not exactly had

He moved like the sunset

God who painted that-

First he loved my accent

How his knees could bend

I thought we'd be ok

Me and my molasses

F#m E

But I feel something is wrong

F#m E

But I feel this cake just isn't done

Don't say that you don't

F#m D

And if you could see me now

F#m D

Said if you could see me now

F#m

Girls you've got to know

When it's time to turn the page

When you're only wet

Because of the rain

C#m D

Bec - ause

A E

Because of the rain

C#m D

Bec - ause

He don't show much these days

It gets so fucking cold

I loved his secret places

But I can't go anymore

"You change like sugar cane"

Says my northern lad

I guess you go too far

When pianos try to be guitars

F#m E

I feel the west in you

F#m E

And I feel it falling apart too

Don't say that you don't

F#m D

And if you could see me now

F#m D

Said if you could see me now

F#m

Girls you've got to know

When it's time to turn the page

When you're only wet

Because of the rain
