[Intro] | D | D | | D | D | G | G | | D | G D | D A | D | | D | | D | D | G | G | | D | G D | D A | D | | G D | D A | G D | [Verse 1]
       D
By the light of the LED display of a VCR recorder

    D
You kiss my neck, I whisper in your ear, "This is my downfall"

       Bm
As you squint and you grimace

                                     D/F#  G
We both know your heart's not in it

       D
By the glow of a thousand fireflies in a Travelodge ensuite

               D
They think the future's bright as halogen, we know it's pretty bleak

         Bm
And I am trying to be sexy

                                D/F#         G  A
Biting at the air that falls in front of me
[Interlude] | D | D | D | D | | G | G | D | G D | | D | D | G D | D G | [Verse 2]
     D
Your telegrams are more and more less detailed by the day

            D
And all the characters are strangers
And the pubs have different names
         Bm
I tell a joke I'd like to meet them

                                   D/F#    G
But they loathe me and I hate them back

D
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Fondness makes the absence longer
D
Length loses my interest

                          Em
I'm a realist, I'm insatiable
Swapped counting days until I fly
                       D/F#   G  A
With hours before your reply
[Chorus]
D                    E
 You said he got his teeth fixed

          D
I'm gonna break them

                    E     G  D
I've got a heart on fire

                     E            G
He said he's got his sights set

           D
On getting to ya

                   Bm
I've got a fist on fire
[Bridge]
C#                          D/F#
  You feel terrified at the thought of being left behind

   A                       E
Of losing everybody, the necessity of dying

       Bm                                  C#
Oh, we kid ourselves there's future in the fucking

                        E
But there is no fucking future

                       G
I'm just practicing my accents, picking at old sutures
[Verse 3]
D
 I taught myself the only way to vaguely get along in love
Is to like the other slightly less than you get in return
Bm                                   D/F#   G
  I keep feeling like I'm being undercut

D
Charlotte says, "It's more constructive than the one in Canada

     D
When you got drunk, ate loads of crisps
And threw up by a football pitch"
  Bm
I know it is, and really, that's what worries me

              D/F#          G  A
I feel like I should hurt
[Chorus]
D                    E
 You said he got his teeth fixed

          D
I'm gonna break them

                    E     G  D
I've got a heart on fire

                     E            G
He said he's got his sights set

           D
On getting to ya

                   Bm    G  D/F#
I've got a fist on fire
[Bridge]
                   G#
I cannot emphasis enough that my body

     A#
Is a badly designed, poorly put-together vessel

      C#m
Harbouring these diminishing, so-called 'vital organs'

          A
I hope my heart goes first, I hope my heart goes first!
[Interlude] | D | D | D | D | [Tag]
       E
We are beautiful

       D/F#     G
We are doomed
[Outro] | D | E D/F# | Fdim7 D | | E | G | D | G | | E | G | D |
