[Verse 1]
D  
   There was a wayward lad, stepped out one morning

D  
   The ground to be his bed, the sky his awning
[Verse 2]
D               G
  Neon, neon, neon

       A                               D
A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field

                                   G
Cows surround so you lean on, lean on

   A                              D
So much your hugs become hold ons
[Chorus 1]
D  Dsus2       D5
Oh these three worn words

                     Em
Oh oh-oh-oh, that we whisper

                 A        A/G           F#m
Like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona

N.C.                          D            D/C#         D/B        D/A       G         F#m       Em
I just want to love you in my own language
[Instrumental] D D/C# D/B D/A G F#m Em [Verse 3]
F#m           E                 D
    Well that smell of sex, good like burning wood

Bm              A       D
    The wayward lad lay claim

F#m        E                  D
    To two thirsty girls from Hornsea

Bm             A                 D
    Who left a note when morning came
[Bridge]
F#m                      E        D
Girls from the pool say 'hi' (hi)

    Bm             A                 D
The road erodes at five feet per year along England's east coastline

F#m                 E     D
Was this your first time?

Bm             A                D
Love is just a button we pressed last night by the campfire
[Chorus 2]
D  Dsus2       D5
Oh these three worn words

                     Em
Oh oh-oh-oh, that we whisper

                 A        A/G           F#m
Like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona

                          D            D/C#         D/B        D/A       G         F#m       Em
I just want to love you in my own language
