You're
G
sending me
Em
tulips, mis
C
taken for
G
lilies,
You
G
give me your
Em
lip after
F
punching me
D
silly,
G
You turned my
Em
head till it
C
rolled down the
G
brain drain,
If I
G
had any
Em
sense now, I
F
wouldn't want it
D
back again.
G
New Amster
Bb
dam, it's be
Am
come much too
G
much,
Will I
G
have the poss
Bb
ession of
Am
everything she
G
touches,
Till I
G
step on the
Bb
brake to get
Am
out of her
G
clutches?
Can I
G
speak Double
Bb
Dutch to a
Am
real double
G
duchess?
G
Down on the
Em
mainspring,
C
listen to the
G
tick tock,
G
Clock all the
Em
faces that
F
move in on
D
your block,
G
Twice shy and
Em
dog tired be
C
cause you've been
G
bitten,
G
Everything you
Em
say now
F
sounds like it was
D
ghost written.

Like, in
E
London, they'll
E
take you to
A
heart after a
E
little while,
Though I
E
look right at
E
home, I still
C
feel like an
D
exile.
C
G
D
G
Somehow I
Em
found myself
C
down at the
G
dockside,
G
Thinking about the
Em
old days of
F
Liverpool and
D
Rotherhithe,
G
Transparent
Em
people who
C
live on the
G
other side,
G
Living a
Em
life that is
F
almost like
D
suicide,
G
New Amster
Bb
dam, it's be
Am
come much too
