Chords

[Verse 1]
C            Am       D        G   C
We've come a long way from the cave

Am           D          G
   What, you started to shave?

C        Am        D        G   C
  Now we know just how to behave

Am               D        G
Since chivalry decided to bathe
[Pre-Chorus]
           C                    Am
And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high

     C                            G
Till that was just a cloud in the sky

        C                   Am
And the chat up lines got increasingly fly

       C                         G
As the truth bought a suit and a tie
[Chorus 1]
                  Am         C               G
The cat loves the mouse, the mouse loves the cheese

                  Am         C                G
The bees love the birds, the birds love those bees

                   Am        G      C
The bee loves that honey, so honey, please

G             C            G
Why are we so different to these?
Am D G C [Verse 2]
C     Am       D           G   C Am               D       G
   So when I'm old and I'm gray    (you know, you already are)

C Am        D   G     C Am               D       G
   When I'm overweight    (you know, you already are)

C Am       D   G      C   Am      D    G
   If I've overstayed  my welcome by a day

C Am         D       G  C  Am            D       G
   Just feel free to say    (you know, I already have)
[Pre-Chorus]
           C                     Am
And as the skirts we wore were increasingly high

     C                            G
Till that was just a cloud in the sky

        C                   Am
And the chat up lines got increasingly fly

       C                         G
As the truth bought a suit and a tie
[Chorus 2]
               Am          C          G
The cat chases bird to the top of the tree

               Am             C          G
The dog chases postman to the end of the street

               Am           G            C
The postman he chases every girl that he meets

G                C            G
So why are we so different to these?
[Outro] C G D G C G D G
G                C                    G
  I've been your bird, I've been your bitch

          D                   G
I've been whatever B you ever wished

               C                   G
I've been your cat, I've been your chick

          D                                G
I've been which ever C you ever thought to pick

               C                   G
I've been your bat, I've been your cow

          D                              G
I've been whichever B and C that you'd allow

               C                         G
I've been your dog, your dragon and your duck

          D                                  G
I've been whatever D you thought was cool to buck...
