[Verse]
Bb From way far across the sea F Came an Eritsean maiden, she Gm Had a one track mind and eyes for me Gm Half blinded in the war Cm With a pale young Anglican F Who said he'd help her all he can Bb Eb Showed her Jesus and his little unholy friend Cm She had no notion to please him F Bb Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind Bb There's a little boy in a stairwell who says F "I hate people like you" Gm I got matches and cable TV Gm half of less than 50p Cm We all clambered over the balcony F Banging on the window, waking Steve Bb Eb Bringing with a new love his unholy friend Cm Singin' if you really need it you F Bb Just won't leave it behind Bb Eb So baby please kill me baby don't kill me F But don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see them anymore
[Refrain]
Bb Eb Please kill oh baby don't don't kill me F Just don't bang on about yesterday
Ya know I wouldn't know about that anyway
[Verse]
Bb She said to the mouse before F Gm If she loved anybody more than he Gm It turns you into stone Cm Now I'm reversing down this lonely street F Bb To a cheap hotel when I can meet the past Eb And pay it off and keep it sweet Cm It's sweet like nothing no F Bb It's just like nothing at all Bb F Yes I've seen you there how could I help but stare Gm It rips the heart out off your body Cm Now I've taken far too much to think F Bb Or see or touch what's real I'm stranded on this street that Eb Paved my only way home Cm F Bb You really need it you just won't leave it behind
[Refrain]
Bb Oh please kill me Eb oh no don't don't kill me F don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't want to see him anymore
Bb Please kill me Eb Oh no don't kill me F And don't try joke about yesterday
You know I wouldn't know about that anyway
Bb
Oh no[Solo]
[Outro]
Cm Eb He got nothin', no Cm Bb He got nothin' at all
