Space feat. Cerys-Ballad Of Tom Jones

Intro
Em Cmaj7 x4

Em
What did I do wrong?
        G
Oh, you nearly drove me cuckoo.
Fm
Am I really all that bad?
You're worse than Hannibal Lector, Charlie Manson, Freddie Kruger.
Em
Why are we still together?
            G
Oh, I can't leave you till you're dead.
Fm
You mean, "till death do us part"?
I mean like cyanide strangulation or an axe through your head.
        
       Dm                        G
It was lucky for us I turned the radio on.
     Dm                         G
They say that music soothes the savage beast.
          Dm                           G
There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red.
G
The two of us would surely have ended up dead

    C                            G
You stopped us from killing each other. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                          G
You'll never know, but you saved our lives. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                    Fm
I've never thrown my knickers at you
    G
And I don't come from Wales.

      Em
Still haven't solved our problem.
            G
You mean we hate each other's guts
Fm
Still wanna poison your pizza
And I still wanna cut off your nuts
  Em
I phoned the marriage guidance
           G
I tied the phone line round your neck
Fm
I'm sick of all this hatred
Oh that'll be the arsenic making you sick.

          Dm                        G
You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff
     Dm                               G
As I tried to jump out, I knocked the stereo on.
Dm                             G   
You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes.
G
It was lucky for us; we'd bought his greatest hits!

    C                            G
You stopped us from killing each other. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                          G
You'll never know, but you saved our lives. (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C                    Fm
I've never thrown my knickers at you
    G
And I don't come from Wales.

    Em
And now our war is over.
              G
I've lost the urge to break your neck.
         Fm
I owe my life to "What's new, pussy cat?".
Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead.
      Em
Oh, I used to call you Satan.
             G
And you were Cruella De'ville.
            Fm
But now you call me your Delilah.
And now I'm not your Lucifer.
And I am just a pussycat.

    Dm             G
But just a word of warning now
        Dm               G
Just in case we ever get tired of his voice.
Dm                G           
I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong.
    G
And I know an atom bomb that's going for a song
