       E
It was three in the morning when she took me apart

     A
She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart

     E
She danced on my head like Arthur Murray

The scars ain't never going to mend in a hurry

D
Just when I thought I could learn to forget her

G
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter

Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

Well my head was beating like a song by the Clash

        A
It was writing cheques that my body couldn't cash

Got to my feet, I was reeling and dizzy

I went for the 'phone but the line was busy

Just when I thought that things would get better

Right through the door come a tear-stained letter

Well I like coffee and I like tea

A
But I just don't like this fiddle-di-dee

It makes me nervous, it gives me the hives

Waiting for a kiss from a bunch of fives
