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

D                C
He'd brought the tea

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

        D                  D
I think tonight I'd rather love myself

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

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

Bm                                D
"We're saving up for a world-wide cruise"

       Bm                                     D
With a choice between loneliness and lovesick QE2's

               Bm            Bm-D-D C D C
Well tonight I choose - self abuse
A four-pack in the fridge A good book on the shelf
  Bm                D             D
I think tonight I'd rather love myself
