[Verse 1]
E7       E7
    I'm alone

E7               E7  E7
    I'm not with you

                A7*                              A7*
  When I get in at night, the many facets of the conversation

                      E7
Roll around inside my head

E7                   E7
    Who's going with who?

E7                   E7
    Who's going with you?

E7             A7*                                A7*
   You are the girl who for a twist plays ventriloquist

                                  E7    E7
The other boys line up to be your pooch
[Pre-chorus]
        B7                   B7
But if I  draw a circle and I  walk around it

           C#m7
You're the piggy in the middle

      C#m7                        E7    
But I love my little pig until it hurts

[Verse 2]

E7          E7
    I wanna dance

E7                 E7
    Give the boy a chance

E7          A7*
    I wanna lose myself in 1986

    A7*                                 E7
The darkened cinematic days of love and trance

E7                   E7
    Your crisp white tee - shirt

E7              E7
    Rock a bill eee - hurts

E7          A7*
    An army of affected youth, they're cute in boots

  A7*                                     E7                              E7
I look at her the girl is looking back at me (the girl is looking back at me)
[Pre-chorus]
          B7
And with a  thought that cuts me

        B7                        C#m7                           C#m7
She will  turn and curtsey to her rockabilly boyfriend, it's too late the damage done
[Chorus]
             E
I will catch them on the stairs

           D
I'm like a bad smell that stays

          A
They will turn round and see me

         C
They will kiss stroke and feel

            E
Just for my benefit: the boy voyeur

    B                             C#m                       
His camera makes up for what he's lost
[Instrumental] G# E F# A C#m G# G# A [Bridge]
A                              E
    You know I know you're the Queen

                            B
But when there's nothing to rule

           G#
Who is the fool?
[Verse 3]
G#            E7
    Wait for spring

E7            E7
    I want to sing

E7             A7*
    Sleep is a drag love is the drug flu is the bug

         A7*                              E7
I got my bag it's full of stuff I want to bring

E7             E7          E7
    There is a club (there is a club)

           E7          E7
There is a girl (there is a girl)

             A7*
Give her the secret sign that I'll be there

         A7*                                         E7    E7
A little clue, maybe she'll pick it up, maybe she'll pass
[Pre-chorus]
         B7                            B7
But I go - into the building and she's over by the bar

           C#m7                             C#m7
And by the time they play New Order, she is over in the corner
[Chorus]
          E
And she's telling me stuff

            D
I think she feels pretty rough

           A
She has to lean on my shoulder

       C
She is drunk, I am sober

      E
And I take her confession

         B                             C#m    A
It's the coolest little session of the month
[Outro]
     E
As I take her confession

     B                                 
I confess I've got my hand under her...
