Chords

[Intro] D F#m Em A7 [Verse 1]
     D
He's pining for her

     F#m
In a people carrier 

               Em
There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that

    A7
But architecture won't do 

            D
Although it might say a lot about the city or town

        F#m
I don't care what they've got keep on turning them down 

         Em
It don't say the funny things she does

           A7
Don't even try and cheer him up, because

              D
It just won't happen 
[Instrumental] D F#m Em A7 [Verse 2]
             D
He's got the feeling again

             F#m
This time on the aeroplane 

               Em
There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front

    A7
But Rodney and Del won't do

            D 
Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains

              F#m
Laugh when he falls through the bar but you're feeling the same 

           Em
'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand

             A7
She won't be waiting for you when you land 
[Chorus]
                    Bm           G
It feels like she's just nowhere near 

    Bm                        G
You could well be out on your ear 

                   Bm                      E
This thought comes closely followed by the fear 

        G          F#m
And the thought of it

          Em     A7
Makes you feel a bit Ill 
[Instrumental] D F#m Em A7 x2 [Verse 3]
D
Yesterday I saw a girl

    F#m                                 Em
Who looked like someone you might knock about with

           A7
And almost shouted 

         D
And then reality kicked in within us

   F#m
It seems as we become the winners 

    Em
You lose a bit of summat

         A7
And half wonder if you won it at all
[Chorus]
                    Bm                  G
And don't say 'owt 'cause you've got no idea

          Bm            G 
And she's still nowhere near 

                      Bm                      E
And the thought comes closely followed by the fear 

        G          F#m
And the thought of it

          Em     A7
Makes you feel a bit
N.C. ...Ill [Bridge]
   D             Em
Despair in the departure lounge

     F#m             G        F#m       Em
It's one and they'll still be around at three

                  A7
No signal and low battery 
N.C. What's happened to me
