BB             F#F#
It was a day like today,
        AbmAbm      E MajorE
a sunday afternoon when they took you away
BB    F#F#     Eb MajorEb
down to Hades in a shopping trolley
E MajorE
with a magazine and a suitcase
BB       F#F#
They stole your clothes
      AbmAbm
i took your watch
     E MajorE
i couldnt look you in the eye
BB       F#F#       E MajorE        E MajorE
why its always those who you love the most you criticise

Chorus

BB    F#F#     AbmAbm     E MajorE
Oh no stranger your just like me,
       BB      F#F#     AbmAbm      E MajorE

BB    F#F#     AbmAbm     E MajorE
Oh no stranger your just like me,
    BB      F#F#     AbmAbm      E MajorE

Verse 2
BB            F#F#        AbmAbm     E MajorE
We stood there throwing ice cream in your hair how i solemly swear
BB      F#F#        Eb MajorEb (6th)  E MajorE (7th)
its the thing in life i regret the most... leaving you standing there
BB        F#F#       AbmAbm
And if you asked me id pull my eyes out
   E MajorE
and when i woke up blind
BB      F#F#      Eb MajorEb (6th)
if you forgave i would sleep at night
E MajorE (7th)
knowing i'd led a good life.
