Chords with lyrics

Intro:
C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF

C majorC            FF
She'd brought along the oranges
C majorC        FF
He'd brought the tea
DmDm             FF        C majorC  FF C majorC FF
They'd both brought along a sick-bag just in case

The plate of chicken sandwiches
Were lovely they agreed
   DmDm          FF       C majorC  FF C majorC FF
And I watched him spit the bits into her face

"Do you love me like you used to" he sighs
  DmDm        G+G      C majorC  FF C majorC FF
"I love you twice as much" she replies
They were on the train to Venice, where else?
 DmDm       G+G    C majorC  FF C majorC FF
I think tonight I fancy myself

G+G

[Chorus]
      C majorC          FF
I'd rather drink that toast to my own health
    C majorC         G+G
I think tonight I'd rather love myself
      C majorC          FF
And if you drink that drink to your own health
    C majorC         G+G     C majorC FF C majorC FF
I think tonight I'd rather love myself
[end Chorus]

Later in the evening
The sun came rolling down
     DmDm         FF       C majorC   FF C majorC FF
And they talked about their fantasies and fears

Between the heavy breathing
And those lighter licking sounds
 DmDm        FF           C majorC  FF C majorC FF
I heard him whisper this question in her ear

"Would you still love me if I lost my legs?"
   DmDm        G+G         C majorC  FF C majorC FF
"I'd see that you were loved and you were fed"
"I end up in a car crash almost dead"
   DmDm       G+G       C majorC   FF C majorC FF
"For richer and for partly severed head"

[Chorus]

A minorAm                  G+G
The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse
A minorAm                G+G
"We're saving up for a world-wide cruise"
    A minorAm                   G+G
With a choice between loneliness and lovesick QE2's
        A minorAm      Em-G-C FF C majorC FF
Well tonight I choose - self abuse

A augmentedA four-pack in the fridge
A augmentedA good book on the shelf
 DmDm        G+G       C majorC
I think tonight I'd rather love myself
