Chords with lyrics

(intro) C majorC G+G (x3) Eb MajorEb G+G

G+G
I?ve just finished decorating, it was very irritating
   C majorC                  G+G      C majorC               G+G
And I know they?re going to come around tonight and I know they?re gonna say to me tonight:
D7D7           G+G   D7D7           G+G
?It makes the room look bigger; it makes the room look bigger?.


G+G
So let?s forget about the open-top bus ride; standing tall on the town hall balcony
C majorC            G+G      C majorC            G+G
It?s about as likely as hen?s teeth; it?s about as likely as hen?s teeth
D7D7          G+G   D7D7           G+G
And as the light gets dimmer, I watch the chance get slimmer.

    C majorC              G+G
But I?m putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
     C majorC                G+G
There?s a fella coming round to stick the gas back on
    C majorC           G+G
And if truth be told now that Thelma?s gone
D MajorD           G+G      (instr) G+G C majorC (x3) D7D7 G+G
It makes the room look bigger.


G+G
I?m drawn towards the souvenir stores; I twirl around the key fob rack
     C majorC              G+G        C majorC               G+G
Well it?s alright for Nicholas and for Neil, yeah well how do you think that makes me feel?
D7D7           G+G D7D7       G+G
And all the while I can see I?m on the CCTV.

Elderly lady at the bus stop thinks I?m going to eat her and so to reassure her
 C majorC        G+G
I ask her for the time
    C majorC           G+G        C majorC          G+G
And her sense of relief at my friendly tone reveals itself in her karmic moan:
     C majorC            G+G
?You can wait twenty minutes and nothing comes along
     C majorC           Eb MajorEb
And then all of a sudden three thugs rob your pension
      D7D7           G+G
Oh, there?s generally one a twenty-five past
    D7D7           G+G
There?s generally one at twenty-five past
     D7D7         G+G
They come swinging round that corner,
   Eb MajorEb         G+G     C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
They think they?re Benny Goodman?.


    C majorC              G+G
But I?m putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
     C majorC                G+G
There?s a fella coming round to stick the gas back on
    C majorC           G+G
And if truth be told now that Thelma?s gone
D MajorD           G+G
It makes the room look bigger.
         D MajorD        G+G        C majorC        G+G G MajorG C majorC G+G
Oh tiptoe to the front row of the Korn show with a sub-machine gun.
