Chords

(Difford/Tilbrook) From the 1980 studio album, Argy Bargy. [Intro] F# [Verse]

F#
Tonight I take her from her parents

I came along to her rescue Without a word about arrangements She came along without a clue

B
So I said my love I want to take you

A place I have inside my head

                          F#
And so it seemed I had to love you

     C#              B
With some caress and separate beds

[Chorus]

    F
Her mother didn't like me

    Am               D#
She thought I was on drugs

   F
My mother didn't like her

      Am             D#
She'd never peel the spuds

   F
So we took off together

    Am             D#m   D#
And stayed at Mrs. Smith's

F
Breakfast at half seven

      A                Cm      G    B  D  F#
Where you can view the cliffs

[Verse]

F#
The moon was full and in our window

I could see her turning in her bed I was loved but all in limbo There was time to pass but not to spend

B
Soon I saw that this was silly

Spending all my wages on this peach

                          F#
When we could sit so very pretty

    C#                 B
And get our heads down out on the beach

[Chorus]

    F
Her father seemed to like me

  Am                 D#m   D#
I helped him fix his car

F
My father seemed to like her

    Am               D#
And couldn't see the harm

   F
In going off together

   Am               Cm
To see the pier and lights

   F
So we could be together

   Am              Cm    G    B  D  F#
In separate beds tonight

[Outro] F# E F# [Repeat to fade]
