D

Verse 1:
D                                                    D
...There was a wayward lad...stepped out one morning
D                                                D
...The ground to be his bed...the sky his awning

Pre-Chorus 1:
D                 G  A                                       D
Neon, neon, neon...a blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
D                                   G       A                            D
Cows surround so you lean on, lean on...so much your hugs become hold-ons

Chorus 1:
D        Dsus2          G     G/F#          Em                       A       A/G           F#m
Oh these three worn words, Oooooh that we whisper, like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona...
                                    D  D/C# D/B  D/A  G  F#m  Em
I just want to love you in my own language

Bridge:
F#m           E                 D                   Bm          A       D
....Well that smell of sex, good like burning wood, the wayward lad lay claim
F#m        E                  D        Bm         A                 D
....To two thirsty girls from Hornsea, who left a note when morning came
F#m                     E   D     Bm             A                   D
Girls from the pool say hi....the road erodes at five feet per year along England's east coastline
F#m                 E     D   Bm             A                D
Was this your first time?....love is just a button we pressed last night by the campfire

Chorus 2:

Oh these three worn words, Oooooh that we whisper, like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona...
                                    D  D/C# D/B  D/A  G  F#m  Em
I just want to love you in my own language
