   D                  Em       Bm      G

   First things first: I have a happy secret

   D              Em                

   The next bit's worse

        Bm         A       G

   I intend to keep it that way

   D       Em                 Bm      G

   I can't remember the last word spoken

     D        Em            Bm

   I got some mail I didn't open

              A             G

   It's an un-read letter day

          D              Em

   I know both of us are poor

             D                   G

   But baby what are phone bills for

D         Em      Bm      G

D                Em

   When it's not raining

              Bm                  G

   All these streets are filled with students

            D             Em                Bm

   But you won?t catch me complaining it's a nuisance

       A             G

   It's useless I know

          D                 Em

   A storm rolls across the suburbs

             D                         G

   And the streets are as empty as the cupboards

                A

   But for the boy most likely

          G

   And the girl most lovely

   D       Em            Bm                 G

   Given time I could get tired of all this sleeping

      D                Em    

   The days I've thrown away

          Bm               A         G

   And the hours that I am keeping

    D            Em           Bm                 G

   But for a while I'm fairly happy feeling hopeless

      D           Em           Bm

   A somersault in a winter coat

             A          G

   I didn't notice a thing

        D                Em

   And I say it like it's unrehearsed

       D                         G

   But I said it in the bathroom first

     A

   "The boy most likely

            G

   And the girl most lovely"

       D            Em

   The hedges and the hibiscus

       D            Em

   As soon as she?s outside she says

       D            Em      D           G

   ?I grew up in the tidiest of towns?

       D                 Em

   Past the pub where my parents met

       D                         Em

   Resigning ourselves to modern architecture

  D             Em          D      G      D

   Don?t let the barstools get you down
