Capo 3
GFrom way far across the sea
DCame an eritrean maiden she
Em7Had a one track mind and eyes for me
Em7Half blinded in the war
AmWith a pale young anglican
DWho said he'd help her all he can
GShowed her Jesus and his little un-holy Cfriend
AmShe had no mind to please him
D7Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him beGhind
GThere's a little boy in a stairwell who say
D"I hate people like you"
Em7Got matches & cable TV half of less than 50p
AmWe all clambered over the balcony
DBanging on the window waking steve
GBringing with a true love his un-holy fCriend
AmSinging if you really need it yDou mustn't leave it beGhind
GSo baby please kill me oh baby donC't kill me
DBut don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see them anymore
GPlease kill me oh baby don't Ckill me
DJust don't bang on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway
GMonkey said to the mouse before
If sDhe loved anybody more than he
EmIt turns you into stone now
And I'm revAmersing down a lonely street
DCheap hotel where I can meet the paGst
Play it off and keep it swCeet
AmAh, It's sweet like nothing oh
DIt's just like nothing at alGl
GYes I've seen you there
How could I heDlp but stare
It rips the hEmeart out of your baby
Taken far too muAmch to see or think or touch
Whats rDeal stranded on this street
GThat paved my only wCay home
AmIf you really need it oh
DYou just won't leave it beGhind
