Pulling in and giving her the eye

Because she must be fucking freezing

She don't stop in the winter, no and...

Last night these two bouncers
AnBd one of em's alright
The other one's the scary one
His Dway or no way, Emtotalatarian
BHe's got no time for you
Looking or breathing
DHow he don't want you to
EmSo step out the queue
He Bmakes examples of you
And there's nowt you can say
DBehind they go through Emto the bit where you pay
AnBd you realise then that it's finally the time
DTo walk back past ten thouEmsand eyes in the line
___[Riff 1]
And you Bcan swap jumpers and make another move
DInstilled in your brain Emyou've got something to prove
BTo all the smirking faces and the boys in black
DWhy can't they be pleasant?
EmWhy can't they have a laugh?
BHe's got his hand in your chest
He wants to give you a duff
DWell secrectly I think they Emwant it all to kick off
BThey want, arms flying everywhere and
Bottles aswell it's just
DSomething to talk about
EmA story to tell you
___[Riff 2]
BWell I'm so glad they turned us all away we'll put it down to fate
___[Riff 2]
BI thought a thousand million things that I could never say this morning

Song 13: A Certain Romance
No Capo
[Verse]
BWell oh they might wear classic Reeboks
BOr knackered Converse
BOr tracky bottoms tucked in socks
EBut all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no Emromance around there
BAnd there's the truth that they can't see
BThey'd probably like to throw a punch at me
BAnd if Eyou could only see them, then you would agree
EmAgree that there ain't no romance around there
(The verses are all upstroked, like kinda ska rythm n that)
[Chorus]
You G#mknow, oh it's a F#mfunny thing you know
We'll Etell 'em if you like
We'll Emtell 'em all tonight
They'll never Blisten
Cause their G#mminds are made up
And C#mcourse it's all okay to F#carry on that wayB
[Verse 2]
BAnd over there there's broken bones
BThere's only music, so that there's new ringtones
EAnd it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little Emdifferent around here
BDon't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
BAnd kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
EAnd just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to Emact like a dickhead
[Chorus]
You G#mknow, oh it's a F#mfunny thing you know
We'll Etell 'em if you like
We'll Emtell 'em all tonight
They'll never Blisten
Cause their G#mminds are made up
And C#mcourse it's all okay to F#carry on that way
Cause their minds are made up
And C#mcourse it's all okay to F#carry on that way
I said G#mno
Oh F#mno!
Oh you Ewon't get me to Emgo!
BAnywhere, G#msaid anywhere
I C#mwon't goF#
Oh no no!B
[Verse]
BWell over there there's friends of mine
BWhat can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
EAnd yeah they might overstep the line
But I just cannot get aEmngry in the same Bway
BNot in the same way
Not in the same Eway
Oh no, oh no Emno
Thank You!!!

Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you

Fake Tales of San Francisco
A Bm A Bm A
Echo through the room

More point to a wedding disco
A Bm A Bm A
Without a bride or groom
Bm A
There's a super cool band yeah
Bm A Bm A Bm A
With their trilbies and their glasses of white wine
Bm A Bm
And all the weekend rock stars in the toilets
A Bm A Bm A
Practicing their lines

Fake Tales of San Francisco
A Bm A Bm A
Echo through the air
Bm A Bm
And there's a few bored faces in the back
A Bm A Bm A
All wishing they weren't there
Bm A
And as the microphone squeaks
Bm A
A young girl's telephone beeps
Bm A
Yeah she's dashing for the exit
Bm A Bm
Oh, she's running to the streets outside
A Bm A
"Oh you've saved me," she screams down the line
Bm A
"The band were fucking wank

And I'm not having a nice time"

I don't want to hear you

(Kick me out, kick me out)

I don't want to hear you no

So all that's left
N.C.
Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf

So you're waiting and waiting
[Chorus]
G#5 F#5 C#5 B5 G#5
G#5 F#5 C#5 B5 G#5

But keep pretending to dance

But they're not half as bad as me

Say anything and I'll agree

'Cause when it comes to acting up
Dm
I'm sure I could write the book

And now that you're more than a part in the play

It's slightly easier to think what to say
Dm C Am
You had us all, standing on our heads
Dm C
Doing our best tricks, yeah

No Capo
Dmaj7 C#m7
Up rolled the riot van
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7
And sparked excitement in the boys
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7
But the policemen look annoyed
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
A C#m7 Bm7 E E6 E
They got a chase last night from men with truncheons dressed in hats
A C#m7 Bm7
They didn't do that much wrong, still ran away though for the laugh
E E6 E
just for the laugh
Dmaj7 C#m7
Please just stop talking
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7
Because they won't find us if you do
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7
Oh, those silly boys in blue
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
Well, they won't catch me and you
A C#m7 Bm7 E E6 E
Have you been drinking son, you don’t look old enough to me
A C#m7 Bm7
I’m sorry officer, is there a certain age you’re supposed to be?
E E6 E
nobody told me
Dmaj7 C#m7
Up rolled the riot van
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7
And these lads just wind the coppers up
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7
Ask why they don't catch proper crooks
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7
Get their address and their names took
Dmaj7
But they couldn't care less

Song 10: Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But...
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
Em G Bm
I've seen your eyes as they fix on me
G Em G Bm G
What is he doing? What on earth's the plan, has he got one?
Em G Bm
You better give me some pointers
G Em G Bm G
Since you are the big rocket launcher and I'm just the shotgun
Em G Bm G
I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes
Em G Bm G
That might be a surprise but it's true, said, I'm not like you
Em G Bm G
And I don't want your advice or your praise
Em G Bm G
Or to move in the ways you do and I never will
[Chorus]
Am G
'Cause all you people are vampires
Am G
And all your stories are stale
Am G
And though you pretend to stand by us
Am G
I know you're certain we'll fail
[Verse 2]
Em G Bm G Em
I've seen your eyes as they fix on me, full of confusion
G Bm G
Your snarl is just so condescending!
Em G Bm G
Trying to explain that we're on to a win
Em G Bm G
If the fee we get in near recoups what we're spending
Em G Bm G
He said, "I can't believe that you drove all that way
Em G Bm G
Well how much did they pay ya? How much did they pay ya?
Em G Bm G
You'd have been better to stay round our way
Em G Bm G
Thinking about things but not actually doing the things"
[Chorus]
Am G
'Cause all you people are vampires
Am G
And all your stories are stale
Am G
And though you pretend to stand by us
Am G
I know you're certain we'll fail
Am G
'Cause all you people are vampires
Am G
And all your stories are stale
Am G
And though you pretend to stand by us

I know you're certain we'll fail
Song 11: When The Sun Goes Down
No Capo
[Verse]
B Eb7
So who's that girl there?
Emaj7
I wonder what went wrong
Ebm
So that she had to roam the streets
Emaj7
She don't do major credit cards
Ebm
I doubt she does receipts
C#m C#m F# E Ebm C#m Ebm
It's all not quite legitimate
B Eb7
And what a scummy man
Emaj7
Just give him half a chance
Ebm
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Emaj7
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
Ebm
That he's got a driving ban
C#m C#m F# E Ebm C#m Ebm
Amongst some other offences
[Bridge]
G#m Ebm
And I've seen him with girls of the night
G#m Ebm
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
G#m Ebm
They're all infected but he'll be alright
C#m Ebm E F# (start strumming on this line)
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
Bm
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!

G F#(v2) Bm
[Verse]
(no guitar, bass only)
Although you're trying not to listen
I bet your eyes are staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
Sorry love I'll have to turn you down
G F# Bm
And oh he must be up to something
G F# Bm
Want half a chance to show he's more than likely
G F# Bm
I've got a feeling in my stomach
G F# Bm
I start to wonder what his story might be
G F# Bm
What his story might be
[Chorus]
Em F#m Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Em F#m Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em F#m Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em F#m Bm
Around here
A F#m
Around
[Verse]
(Riff (guitar 1))
G F#(v2) Bm
And look here comes a Ford Mondeo
G F#(v2) Bm
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous
G F#(v2) Bm
And he don't have to say 'owt
G F#(v2) Bm
She understands she's here to get picked up
G F#(v2) Bm
And she's delighted when she sees him
G F#(v2) Bm
Pulling in and giving her the eye
G F#(v2) Bm
Because she must be fucking freezing
G F#(v2) Bm
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
G F#(v2) Bm
She don't stop in the winter, no and...
[Chorus]
Em F#m Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Em F#m Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em F#m Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em F#m Bm
Around here
Em F#m Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Em F#m Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em F#m Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down

B Eb7
What a scummy man
Emaj7
Just give him half a chance
Ebm
I bet he'll rob you if he can

Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
C#m Ebm E F#
I hope you're not involved at all

Last night these two bouncers
B
And one of em's alright
The other one's the scary one
D Em
His way or no way, totalatarian
B
He's got no time for you
Looking or breathing
D
How he don't want you to
Em
So step out the queue
B
He makes examples of you
And there's nowt you can say
D Em
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
B
And you realise then that it's finally the time
D Em
To walk back past ten thousand eyes in the line
___[Riff 1]
B
And you can swap jumpers and make another move
D Em
Instilled in your brain you've got something to prove
B
To all the smirking faces and the boys in black
D
Why can't they be pleasant?
Em
Why can't they have a laugh?
B
He's got his hand in your chest
He wants to give you a duff
D Em
Well secrectly I think they want it all to kick off
B
They want, arms flying everywhere and
Bottles aswell it's just
D
Something to talk about
Em
A story to tell you
___[Riff 2]
B
Well I'm so glad they turned us all away we'll put it down to fate

I thought a thousand million things that I could never say this morning

This town's a different town today

You couldn't have done that on a Sunday..

Song 13: A Certain Romance
No Capo
[Verse]
B
Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
B
Or knackered Converse
B
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
E
But all of that's what the point is not
Em
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
B
And there's the truth that they can't see
B
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
B E
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Em
Agree that there ain't no romance around there
(The verses are all upstroked, like kinda ska rythm n that)
[Chorus]
G#m F#m
You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
E
We'll tell 'em if you like
Em
We'll tell 'em all tonight
B
They'll never listen
G#m
Cause their minds are made up
C#m F# B
And course it's all okay to carry on that way
[Verse 2]
B
And over there there's broken bones
B
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
E
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
Em
To see it's a little different around here
B
Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
B
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
E
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
Em
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead
[Chorus]
G#m F#m
You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
E
We'll tell 'em if you like
Em
We'll tell 'em all tonight
B
They'll never listen
G#m
Cause their minds are made up
C#m F#
And course it's all okay to carry on that way
Cause their minds are made up
C#m F#
And course it's all okay to carry on that way
G#m
I said no
F#m
Oh no!
E Em
Oh you won't get me to go!
B G#m
Anywhere, said anywhere
C#m F#
I won't go
B
Oh no no!
[Verse]
B
Well over there there's friends of mine
B
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
E
And yeah they might overstep the line
Em B
But I just cannot get angry in the same way
B
Not in the same way
E
Not in the same way
Em
Oh no, oh no no
