Sarah wears my t-shirts in the mornings; they go half way down her thighs
C#m          A                    E                      B               C#m      A
Sarah sleeps spread out across my bed, but she knows the fan will always be mine

E            B              C#m                 A            E   B
Sarah laughs arpeggios when she finds something funny on her own
C#m     A                 E                    B
Already asleep when I get home and when I wake she’s already gone

E               B                C#m             A
Maybe I've been listening to The Beatles' 'Abbey Road' for far too long
E            D          A                   B
Maybe I will never be a poet, but who needs poetry in a love song?

(Hold on, E)

Sarah works in space-boots cos they're funky and they make her toes go numb

Sarah wears a tiny yellow dress and her father's business shirt to hide her bum

(Hold on, E)

E            B                    C#m                 A              E     B
Sarah kisses with her tongue when she's been drinking vodka with the girls
C#m            A               E                         B                  C#m       A
And I know she sometimes feels sad cos she's scared that we don't share the same world

(Hold on, E)

Maybe I've been listening to The Beatles' 'Abbey Road' for far too long
E            D          A                   B
Maybe I will never be a poet, but who needs poetry in a love song?

E             B                 C#m               A
Maybe we will make sense of the words and then we all can sing along
E             D            A                B
Don’t need to rhyme to be a poet; who needs poetry in a love song?
