[Intro]
Dbm   Abm(x2)
[Verse 1]
Our neDbmighbours were screaming
I don't have a Abm7key for downstairs
So I Dma7punched all the buzzers
Ebm7b5Hoping he would be Ab7there
And Dbmnow my head's hurting
You say I always Abm7get my own way
But you Dma7were in the shower when I got there
And I Fm7b5don't wanted to stBb7#9ay, but I got nothing to say
Ebm7   Bbm7( Bm7   E7   Dbm7   Gb7)
You were so beautiful before today
Ebm7   Bbm7( Bm7   E7   Dbm7   Gb7)
And then I heard what you say…man that was ugly
[Chorus]
The mosBmaj7chino bra you bought me last christmas
D/EPut it in the box, put it E7in the box
Bmaj7Frank's in there and I don't care
D/EPut it in the box, put it E7in the box
Just Bmaj7take it
Bmaj7Take Bb7the Amaj7box
Abm7 Abm7(11) Ab7#9
Take the box
[Verse 2]
I Dbmcame home this evening
And nothing felt like Abm7how it should be
I feel like Dma7writing you a letter
But thaEbm7b5t is not meAb7…you know me
Feel Dbmso fucking angry
Don't wanna be Abm7reminded of you
But when I left my Dma7shit in your kitchen
I said goodFm7b5bye to your bedroom and Bb7#9smiled at you
Ebm7   Bbm7( Bm7   E7   Dbm7   Gb7)
Mr false pretence, you don't make sense, I just don’t know you
Ebm7   Bbm7( Bm7   E7   Dbm7   Gb7)
But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye? I think I love you
[Chorus]
The moBmaj7schino bra you bought me last christmas
D/EPut it in the box, put it E7in the box
Bmaj7Frank's in there and I don't care
D/EPut it in the box, put it E7in the box
Now Bmaj7take it
Bmaj7Take Bb7the Amaj7box
Just Bmaj7take it, take it
Bmaj7Take Bb7   Amaj7the box
And now just Bmaj7take the box
Amaj7Take the box
