And I've seen him with girls of the night
G#m G#m Ebm Ebm
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
G#m G#m Ebm Ebm
They're all infected but he'll be alright

(bass)
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 G F# F# Bm Bm (palm muted through verse)
And oh he must be up to something
Want half a chance to show he's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be
What his story might be

Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
Around here
A A F#m F#m
Around

riff (guitar 1)
G G F# F# Bm Bm (guitar 2)
And look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous
And he don't have to say 'owt
She understands she's here to get picked up
And she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
She don't stop in the winter, no and...

Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
Around here
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em Em F#m F#m Bm Bm
Around here
A A F#m F#m
Around here


B B Eb7 Eb7
What a scummy man
E/Eb E/Eb
Just give him half a chance
Ebm Ebm
I bet he'll rob you if he can
E/Eb E/Eb Ebm Ebm
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
C#m C#m Ebm Ebm E E F# F#
I hope you're not involved at all

(not too sure what is here, mess about in Bb Bb)

Finish on B B
