[Verse 1]
GI need a little courage in my blEmood
The pieces move and dry my lCove
Trying hard to hide my lGoss
AGnd I spilt cider on your dEmress
After two im such a mCess
You smile politly and brush it oGff
[Pre-chorus]
CAnd I dont think I'Gve met a girl like yBmou before
So please don't let me dCown
CTalking laughing
EmNow you're asking me aBmround
And i won't let you dDown
[Chorus]
EmMy tea's gone coCld
My hands feel nuGmb
Wrapped Emaround you waiting Cfor the morning sGun
Snuggle on oEmver, come a little clCoser,
you could be the oGne
Turn something oEmrdinary Cinto something fGun
[Verse 2]
GNow we're sober in this lEmight
You look as good as you did last nCight
Just go on, and on, and Gin
GBut I'm from Cornwall, you're up nEmorth,
We both know distances don't wCork
So will you meet me here next yGear?
[Pre-chorus]
CAnd I dont think I'Gve met a girl like yBmou before
So please don't let me dCown
CTalking laughing
EmNow you're asking me aBmround
And i won't let you dDown
[Chorus]
EmMy tea's gone coCld
My hands feel nuGmb
Wrapped Emaround you waiting Cfor the morning sGun
Snuggle on oEmver, come a little clCoser,
you could be the oGne
Turn something oEmrdinary Cinto something fGun
[Verse 3]
GComing to the end of the Emshow,
Another tempo we both kCnow
And I'll just hold before we gGo
GYou know I mean it Emlitterally
You've really left your mark on Cme
I won't forget you eGasily
[Chorus]
EmMy tea's gone coCld
My hands feel nuGmb
Wrapped Emaround you waiting Cfor the morning sGun
Snuggle on oEmver, come a little clCoser,
you could be the oGne
Turn something oEmrdinary Cinto something fGun
EmMy tea's gone coCld
My hands feel nuGmb
Wrapped Emaround you waiting Cfor the morning sGun
Snuggle on oEmver, come a little clCoser,
you could be the oGne
Turn something oEmrdinary Cinto something fGun
Turn something oEmrdinary Cinto something fGun

You smile politly and brush it off

Now we're sober in this light
