Sarah wears my t-shirts in the mornings; they go half way down her thighs

C#m          A                    E                      B               C#m      A
Sarah sleeps spread out across my bed, but she knows the fan will always be mine

Sarah laughs arpeggios when she finds something funny on her own

C#m     A                 E                    B
Already asleep when I get home and when I wake she’s already gone
[Chorus]
E               B                C#m             A
Maybe I've been listening to The Beatles' 'Abbey Road' for far too long

Maybe I will never be a poet, but who needs poetry in a love song?

Sarah works in space-boots cos they're funky and they make her toes go numb

Sarah wears a tiny yellow dress and her father's business shirt to hide her bum

Sarah kisses with her tongue when she's been drinking vodka with the girls

And I know she sometimes feels sad cos she's scared that we don't share the same world
[Chorus]
