G+G            D MajorD  E minorEm          D MajorD


  I ought to leave      enough hot water
 for your morning bath    but I'd not thought, I

  C majorC        A minorAm
  hate to hear you talk that way
  C majorC        A minorAm        G+G   D MajorD  E minorEm  D MajorD
but I can't bring  myself to say I'm sorry

G+G D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD

G+G             D MajorD  E minorEm          D MajorD


  the past is always      knocking incessant
 trying to break through    into the present

  C majorC        A minorAm
we have to work to keep it out     G+G   D MajorD  E minorEm  D MajorD
and I won't be the first to shout it's over

A minorAm     C majorC        A minorAm   C majorC          G+G D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD
 I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms
  A minorAm     C majorC        A minorAm     C majorC
but now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom
     A minorAm             C majorC      D MajorD


with that big shell listening to the sound of the sea

G+G G+G G MajorG G+G G MajorG D MajorD    C majorC


G+G            D MajorD   E minorEm          D MajorD
 I steal a kiss from you     in the supermarket
 I walk you down the aisle,   you fill my basket

    C majorC         A minorAm
and through it all the stick I take
  C majorC        A minorAm
is worth it for the love we make

A minorAm     C majorC        A minorAm   C majorC          G+G D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD
 I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms
  A minorAm     C majorC        A minorAm     C majorC
but now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom
     A minorAm             C majorC      D MajorD


with that big shell listening to the sound of the sea

G+G G MajorG G+G G MajorG G+G  D MajorD    C majorC
the baby and me


G+G          D MajorD E minorEm           D MajorD
 I stayed in bed     alone, uncertain
 then I met you,    you pulled the curtain

  C majorC         A minorAm
the sun came up, the trees began to sing and
 C majorC        A minorAm       G+G    D MajorD E minorEm  D MajorD
light shone in on everything, I love you

  C majorC         A minorAm
the sun came up, the trees began to sing and
 C majorC        A minorAm       G+G    D MajorD E minorEm  D MajorD
light shone in on everything, I love you
