Intro: C F C F C F C F
C                       F
She'd brought along the oranges

C                F
He'd brought the tea

Dm                          F                C    F C F
They'd both brought along a sick-bag just in case
The plate of chicken sandwiches Were lovely they agreed
      Dm                   F             C    F C F
And I watched him spit the bits into her face
"Do you love me like you used to" he sighs
   Dm                G            C    F C F
"I love you twice as much" she replies
They were on the train to Venice, where else?
  Dm              G       C    F C F
I think tonight I fancy myself
G [Chorus]
           C                   F
I'd rather drink that toast to my own health

        C                  G
I think tonight I'd rather love myself

           C                   F
And if you drink that drink to your own health

        C                  G         C F C F
I think tonight I'd rather love myself
[end Chorus] Later in the evening The sun came rolling down
         Dm                 F             C     F C F
And they talked about their fantasies and fears
Between the heavy breathing And those lighter licking sounds
  Dm               F                     C   F C F
I heard him whisper this question in her ear
"Would you still love me if I lost my legs?"
     Dm                G                  C    F C F
"I'd see that you were loved and you were fed"
"I end up in a car crash almost dead"
     Dm             G              C     F C F
"For richer and for partly severed head"
[Chorus]
Am                                   G
The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse

Am                                G
"We're saving up for a world-wide cruise"

       Am                                     G
With a choice between loneliness and lovesick QE2's

               Am            Em-G-C F C F
Well tonight I choose - self abuse
A four-pack in the fridge A good book on the shelf
  Dm                G             C
I think tonight I'd rather love myself
