And     Dnot one girl in this     Gtown

   Dspreads like a rumor 
like the     Ggrass grows and inch in every     Dday 
And I suppose that be -     Gfore I even know it
the     Dtide will start flowing 
and the     Gdrum beneath my jacket will     B5say
    D5You know you need her every -     B5day 
   DYou know you need her every -     B5day 
   D5You know you need her every -      B5day

D G D

I sup - pose love lives in a dustbin

G D

Be - hind the garden wall

You have to grovel on the ground

and be pretty dis - gusting

to find it at all

D G

And I suppose that it grows on you

D G

Standing there with no clothes on

and I suppose

G D

because there's beautiful girls in this town

I'll stay here till I've chosen one.

D G

I suppose life's like a hunt, really

the hounds have fun

until the fox gets bagged

D G

And not one girl in this town

will ever fall in love with me:

They'll get dragged.

Her heart

G D

speaks to me; says the room the room the room

Be - neath her dress, and

D G

I suppose that it beats for me

D G

Like a hammering moon pulling tides through her chest

D G

Sup - pose she says that she owes me

D G

all that she owns and all that she is

D G

It seems to me I sup - pose that

her heart's not enough

and her love is a swizz
