Intro D/Dmaj7 Em/Em7 A/A6 X2
VERSE 1
DEmA
The word's on the street: you've found someone new.
DEmA
If he looks nothing like me I'm so happy for you.
CADF#
I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the church -
CAD
she's trying to replace me, but it'll never work.
Bm
'Cos every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
EmG
And every time he kisses you it leaves behind the
D
bitter taste of saccharine.
VERSE 2
A bad cover version of love is not the real thing.
Bikini-clad girl on the front who invited you in.
Such great disappointment when you got him home -
the original was so good; the one you no longer own.
And every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
And every time he kisses you, you get the taste of saccharine.
It's not easy to forget me, it's so hard to disconnect
When it's electronically reprocessed to give a more life-like effect.
CHORUS
(Not really sure of the chord here probably G)
Aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations that
D
got it so wrong
DEm
It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the two of them
could talk
AG
Like the Stones since the Eighties, like the last days
D
of Southfork.
DEm
Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV, the second side of "'Til the Band Comes in"
A
Like an own-brand box of cornflakes: he's going to let
D
you down my friend.
