Intro:
D D Bm Bm Em Em A A x2

D D
You used to get it in your fishnets
Bm Bm
Now you only get it in your night dress
Em Em
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
A A
Landed in a very common crisis
D D
Everything's in order in a black hole
Bm Bm
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
(A A) Em Em
The Bloody Mary's lacking her Tabasco
A A
Remember when you used to be a rascal?


Em Em
Oh the boy's a slag
A A
The best you ever had
Em Em
The best you ever had
A A Em Em
Is just a memory and those dreams
A A
But as daft as they seem
Em Em
As daft as they seem
G G
My love when you dream them up...


D D
Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Bm Bm
Remember when the boys were all electric?
(A A) Em Em
Now when she's told she's gonna get it
A A
I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it
D D
Clinging to not getting sentimental
Bm Bm
Said she wasn't going but she went still
(A A) Em Em
Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle
A A
Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?


Em Em
Oh the boy's a slag
A A
The best you ever had
Em Em
The best you ever had
A A Em Em
Is just a memory and those dreams
A A
But as daft as they seem
Em Em
As daft as they seem
G G
My love when you dream them up

F#m F#m Bm Bm
Oh, where did you go?
Em Em
Where did you go?
F#m F#m Em Em
Where did you go? Woah.

D D Bm Bm Em Em A A

D D Bm Bm (A A)
Falling about
Em Em A A
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
D D Bm Bm (A A)
You were just sounding it out
Em Em A A
You're not coming back again.

D D Bm Bm (A A)
Falling about
Em Em A A
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
D D Bm Bm (A A)
You were just sounding it out
Em Em A A
You're not coming back again.

D D
You used to get it in your fishnets

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness

D D
Everything's in order in a black hole
Bm Bm
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
(A A) Em Em
That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco
A A
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

End on Bm Bm
