[Verse 1]
    Bm             Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm
I found myself

         Bm            Bm7 Bm  E7  Bm E9sus Bm
At the point where we kissed first

 Bm          Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm
On a rooftop

 Bm        Bm7    Bm          E7   Bm E9sus Bm
Overlooking the East London mosque

  Bm                    Bm7    Bm       E7 Bm E9sus Bm
They say, they say, they say, they say

       Bm          Bm7 Bm                  E7    Bm E9sus Bm
"You can't go around breaking young girls' hearts"

Bm               Bm7     Bm      E7 Bm E9sus Bm
I say, I say, I say, I say

  Bm           Bm7 Bm  E7     Bm E9sus Bm
"Keep it casual, easy fit"
[Chorus] Bm C#m
Eb7
And you looked so right

Em7
In that red dress
Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm [Verse 2]
   Bm          Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm
Oh, how I'd love

       Bm   Bm7 Bm E7  Bm E9sus Bm
To be a rock for you

 Bm              Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm
To be anything

 Bm    Bm7 Bm   E7   Bm E9sus Bm
You could rely on

 Bm                          Bm7       Bm  E7 Bm E9sus Bm
So I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

         Bm        Bm7 Bm     E7 Bm E9sus Bm
But I'll get caught out

    Bm                          Bm7       Bm  E7 Bm E9sus Bm
So we'll try, we'll try, we'll try, we'll try

         Bm       Bm7
But we forget the lines

  Bm           E7 Bm E9sus Bm
Forget the lines
[Chorus] Bm C#m
Eb7
And you looked so wanton

 Em7
In the back of the car
Bm C#m
Eb7
Like you could start

 Em7
A hundred wars
Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm [Bridge]
Bm               Bm7     Bm
See what trouble we could both cause

E7             Bm         E9sus    Bm
By the bedroom door, the kitchen floor

Bm            Bm7     Bm
I tried, I tried, I tried

E7          Bm         E9sus    Bm
I tried, I tried, I tried

Bm               Bm7   Bm
Oh, Marlena, I'm too young

E7             Bm       E9sus    Bm
To be the father to our son

Bm            Bm7     Bm
I tried, I tried, I tried

E7          Bm         E9sus    Bm
I tried, I tried, I tried
[Outro]
               Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm
Forgive me, Oscar

               Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm
Forgive me, Oscar

               Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm
Forgive me, Oscar

               Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm
Forgive me, Oscar

               Bm Bm7 Bm E7 Bm E9sus Bm
Forgive me, Oscar
