A Db
Why don’t you shut the door
D
And close the curtains
Dm
‘Cause you’re not going anywhere
A Db
He’s coming up the stairs
D
And in a moment
Dm
He’ll want to see your underwear

D Dm
I couldn’t stop it now
A
There’s no way to get out
F#m
He’s standing far too near
E
How the hell did you get here
F#m D A
Standing naked in somebody elses room
F#m E
I’d give my whole life to see you
D Dm
Just you standing there
A
Only in your underwear

A Db
If fashion is your trade
D
When you’re naked
Dm
I guess you must be unemployed
A Db
But once it’s underway
D
There’s no escaping
Dm
The fact that you’re a girl and he’s a boy

D Dm
I couldn’t stop it now
A
There’s no way to get out
F#m
He’s standing far too near
E
How the hell did you get here
F#m D A
Standing naked in somebody elses room
F#m E
I’d give my whole life to see you
D Dm
Just you standing there
A
Only in your underwear

A Db D Dm

A Db
If you could close your eyes
D
And just remember
Dm
This is what you wanted last night
A Db
So why is it so hard
D
For you to touch him
Dm
For you to give yourself to him, Jesus

A Absus4 Ab Asus4 A E Ab (x2)
Du du du du du du du …
A Db D
Oh yeah, I wanna see you
Dm A
Wanna see you standing in your underwear

[F#]I took an air-rifle, shot a magpie to the ground
[B]And it died without a [F#]sound
[F#]Your skin so pale against the fallen autumn leaves
[B]And no one saw us but the [F#]trees

[F#]Yeah the trees, those useless trees
Produce the [B]air that I am [F#]breathing
Yeah the [F#]trees, those useless trees
They never [B]said that you were [F#]leaving

[F#]I carved your name with a heart just up above
[B]No swollen, distorted, unrecog[F#]nisable; like our love
[F#]The smell of leaf mould and the sweetness of decay
[B]Are the incense at the funeral pro[F#]cession here, today

[F#]In the trees, those useless trees
Produce the [B]air that I am [F#]breathing
Yeah the [F#]trees, those useless trees
They never [B]said that you were [F#]leaving

[B]You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be
Carving your name a thousand won’t bring you back to me
Oh [F#]no I might as well
I might as well just go tell it to the trees

Oh yeah the [F#]trees, those useless trees
Produce the [B]air that I am [F#]breathing
Yeah the [F#]trees, those useless trees
They never [B]said that you were [F#]leaving

[F#]Go and tell it to the trees yeah
[F#]Go and tell it to the trees yeah
[F#]Go and tell it to the trees yeah
[F#]Go and tell it to the trees yeah
[F#]Go and tell it to the trees yeah

G C G
Without you my life has become
Em C G
A hangover without end
D C G C
A movie made for TV
C D Em
Bad dialogue, bad acting, no interest
C D G
Too long with no story and no sex

G C G
Is it a kind of weakness
Em C G
To miss someone so much?
C D Em
To wish the day would go away
C D Em
Like you did yesterday
C D G
Just like you did yesterday

G C G
Em C G
C D Em
C D Em
C D G

G C
And I can’t think of a way to get through this pain
C G
To be happy again to make it all alright
G
And I know it must be bad
C
Cos sitting here right now

All I know is I can’t even think
Em C D
Can’t even think of anything clever to say
C
To say, so I say

G C G
Why pretend any longer?
Em C G
Cos I need you here with me
C D Em
It’s obvious that I miss you so much
C D Em
So please say you’re gonna stay
C D Em
So please say you’re gonna stay
C D G
So please say you’re gonna stay

G C G
The night is getting darker now
Em C G
And there’s nothing on TV
C D Em
But I’ll sit tight
C D Em
Til morning light
C D G
Yeah, I’ll wait until the day
C D G
Until the day that you say you’re gonna stay

C
Oh is this the way they say the futures meant to feel?
G
Oh just twenty thousand people standing in a field
C
And I just don’t understand quite what this feeling is
G
That’s okay cos we’re all sorted out for E’s and Whizz

C
And tell me when the spaceship lands
G
Cos all this has just got to mean something

Dm
In the middle of the night
F G Bb
It feels alright but then tomorrow morning
Am Bb G G
Ohh ohh when you come down

C
Oh yeah the pirate radio told us what was going down
G
Got the tickets from some messed up bloke in Camden Town
C
And no one seems to know exactly where it is
G
But that’s okay, cos we’re all sorted out for E’s and Whizz
C
At four o’ clock the normal world seems very very very far away
Hey hey

Dm
In the middle of the night
F G Bb
It feels alright but then tomorrow morning
C G
Just keep on moving

C
Everybody asks your name they say we’re all the same
G
And now it’s, Nice One, Geezer – that’s as far as the conversation went
C
I lost my friends I dance alone, it’s 6 o’ clock, I wanna go home
G
But it’s no way not today, makes you wonder what it meant
C
And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows
G
And you wanna call your mother and say, “Mother,
C
I can never come home again because I seem to have left
G
an important part of my brain somewhere in a field in Hampshire. Alright

Dm
In the middle of the night
F G Bb
It feels alright but then tomorrow morning
Am Bb
Oohh Oohh when you come down
Am Bb
Ooh what if you never come down?
