All we do is fight

So long

My head hurts

I wish I'd never woke up
Em
I feel worse
G D
than when S Club 7 broke up
Em
I hate the day
It hates me
G D Em G D
So does everybody else
Em G D
I sit here drooling on my own again
Em G D
and like a routine episode of Friends
Em G D
What does it mean to be American?

I'll be there for you?

Since you've gone my only friends are Billy Bragg and the Jam

Though my time with you has got me feeling oh so k.d. lang

I think you're right about the New Kids on the Block
Em G D
And I agree now Billy Joel does not rock

Wish I could tell you all the things that Woody Allen helps me see
Em G D
How Annie Hall is starting to seem quite a lot like you and me

by my pillow?

Em G D
When I get to sleep I'll dream again of canopies and grapes
Em G D
And wake shaking from the knowledge that the mattress holds your shape
Em G D
I assume my phone is dead because it hasn't rung for months
Em G D
If tomorrow is the funeral do you think that you could come?
Em G D
I could give you back your music and your t-shirts and your socks
Em G D
Walk to Jazz's house in SOHO cry into her letter box
Em G D
Spend some time out to resuscitate my soul
Em G D
Take up smoking and drink carrot juice and grow
Em G D
Teach the mattress to expel you from its folds
Em G D
Then dry my eyes and keep on walking til the motion makes me strong
Em G D
Until one day i realise I don't remember that you're gone
Cmaj7
We'll be strangers
G
who were lovers
D
I'll recover
D Em
It's so weird how time goes on
