Intro  A           C  

verse 1 

A           C 
I got drunk and fell asleep 
A           C 
Atop the sheets but luckily 
A           C 
I left the heater on 

D 

A           C 
And in my dreams I wrote the best 
A           C 
Song that I've ever written 
A           C 
Can’t remember how it goes 
D           C 

A           C 
I stayed drunk and fell awake 
A           C 
I was cycling on a plane 
A           C                D            C 
And far away I heard you say you liked me 

A             C 
We drifted to a party, cool 
A             C 
The people went to arty school 
A             C              D           C 
They made their paints by mixing acid wash and lemonade 


A (Allow to sustain) 
In my brain 
I re-arrange 
The letters on the page 
To spell your name 


verse 2 

A             C 
I found an Ezra Pound 
A             C 
And made a bet that if I found 
A             C             D            C 
A cigarette, I'd drop it all and marry you 

A             C 
Just then a song comes on: 
A                C 
"You can't always get what you want" 
A             C             D          C 
The Rolling Stones, oh woe is we, the irony 

A             C 
The stones became the moss 
A             C 
And once all inhibition's lost 
A             C            D         C 
The hipsters made a mission to the farm 

A             C 
We drove by tractor there 
A             C 
The yellow straw replaced our hair 
A             C              D           C 
We laced the dairy river with the cream of sweet vermouth 


A         C 
In my brain 
A         C 
I re-arrange 
A         C              
The letters on the page 
D         C 
To spell your name 


verse 3 
A             C 
You said, "We only live once" 
A             C 
So we touched a little tongue 
A             C 
And instantly I wanted to 
D             C 

A             C 
I lost my train of thought 
A             C 
And jumped aboard the Epping as 
A             C 
The doors were slowly closing on the world 
D             C 

A             C 
I touched on and off 
A             C 
And rubbed my arm up against yours 
A             C 
And still the inspector inspected me 
D             C 

A             C 
The lady in the roof 
A             C 
Was living proof that nothing 
A             C 
Really ever is exactly as it seems 

Chorus 

verse 4 
A             C 
We caught the river boat downstream 
A             C 
And ended up beside a team 
A             C 
Of angry footballers 
D             C 

A             C 
I fed the ducks some krill 
A             C 
Then we were sucked against our will 
A             C 
Into the welcome doors of the casino 
D             C 

A             C 
We drank green margaritas 
A             C 
Danced with sweet señoritas 
A             C 
And we all went home as winners of a kind 
D             C 

A Allow to sustain 
You said "I guarantee we'll have more fun 

Drink till the moon becomes the sun 
                       D               C 
And in the taxi home I'll sing you a Triffids song" 

Chorus 

Outro 

A Until fade out
