   I ought to leave            enough hot water
for your morning bath but I'd not thought, I
    C                Am
    hate to hear you talk that way

    C                Am               G     D   Em   D
but I can't bring   myself to say I'm sorry
G D Em D
G                         D    Em                   D
   the past is always            knocking incessant
trying to break through into the present
    C               Am
we have to work to keep it out          G     D   Em   D
and I won't be the first to shout it's over
Am         C                Am      C                   G D Em D
 I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms

    Am          C                Am          C
but now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom

          Am                          C           D
with that big shell listening to the sound of the sea
G G G G G D C
G                       D      Em                    D
 I steal a kiss from you         in the supermarket
I walk you down the aisle, you fill my basket
       C                 Am
and through it all the stick I take

    C                Am
is worth it for the love we make

Am         C                Am      C                   G D Em D
 I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms

    Am          C                Am          C
but now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom

          Am                          C           D
with that big shell listening to the sound of the sea

G G G G G    D       C
the baby and me

G                   D  Em                      D
  I stayed in bed         alone, uncertain
then I met you, you pulled the curtain
    C                 Am
the sun came up, the trees began to sing and

 C                Am             G       D  Em    D
light shone in on everything, I love you

    C                 Am
the sun came up, the trees began to sing and

 C                Am             G       D  Em    D
light shone in on everything, I love you
