Fluorescent Adolescent Live Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro x2

D Bm A Em A

Verse 1

You used to get it in your fDishnets,

Now you only get it in your night dress,

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness,

Landed in a very common crisis,

Everything's in order in a bDlack-hole,

Nothing seems as pretty as Bmthe past though,

That Bloody Mary's Alacking in EmTabasco,

Remember when you used to be a Arascal?

Chorus

Oh the boy's a Emslag,

The best you ever hadA,

The best you ever hadEm,

Is just a Amemory and those Emdreams,

Weren't as daftA as they seemed,

Not as daft as Emthey seemed,

My love when you dGreamed them up...

Verse 2

Flicking through a little book of sDex tips,

Remember when the boys were all elBmectric?

Now when she's tAold she's gonna getEm it,

I'm guessing that she'd rather just fAorget it,

Clinging to not getting sentiDmental,

Said she wasn't going but she Bmwent still,

Likes her gAentlemen not to be gEmentle,

Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?

Chorus

Oh the boy's a slag, Em

The best you ever had, A

The best you ever Emhad,

Is just a mAemory and those dEmreams,

Weren't as daft as tAhey seemed,

Not as daft as tEmhey seemed,

My love when you Adream them up....
