F(2) Bb(1) F(2) Bb(1)

Alan doesn't understand her, He only thinks in numbers

F(2) Am7 C(1) Dm Eb Bb(2)

He only drinks in restaurants, Where the girls are fully covered

F(2) Bb(1) F(2) Bb(1) And he can't trust his yearnings, And he doesn't like pretending

F(2) Am7 C(1) Dm

His tempers stretched so much by work, His heart needs gentle rending

Bb(2) C(2) Bb(2) C(2)

He calls her the Chocolate Girl,

Am7 Bb(2) C(2) Dm

`Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her

Bb(2) C(2) Bb(2) C(2)

She knows she's the Chocolate Girl,

Am7 Bb(2) A Dm Intro Riff

Cause she's broken up and swallowed and wrapped in bits of silver

Alan doesn't understand this

He says he's only human

So he still lights up with old flames

As if to try and prove it

And he doesn't like emotion

He's not certain of their ardour

If pouting causes so much fun

Then breaking hearts is harder

CHORUS

Alan doesn't understand her

He thinks it's getting harder

So he spends the night with old friends

Underneath the covers

CHORUS

End with Intro Riff
