Standard (EADGBE)

It might sound funny

But when your heart is nearly-new

You say I'll try; but never do

I'll try to get there in the end

The cuckoo is a pretty bird

It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard

And it reminds me how you stole into my heart

And took everything away

way

It's outrageous

It's disgraceful

How could we ever have been so tasteful?

I know we said we won't

But you can call me if you want

And you know I'm always there

I thought you'd like to know

I still think you are the most

But you left me living here

Married to a ghost

Then, it gets so cold at night-time

Never knew it got so cold at night-time

Sometimes dreams come true:

One night when the moon is blue

And I may come to you

With a love that's nearly-new

Oh, my love

I've tried to love you

But I guess I'm out of practice

And practicing is Strictly for the birds

The cuckoo is a pretty bird

It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard

And it reminds me how you stole into my [Dmheart

And then threw everything away

And you say:

It's outrageous

It's so shoddy

The way you're making love to someone else's body

And my flesh can go and crawl

Halfway up the bedroom wall

And you know I'm always there

I thought you'd like to know

I still think you are the most

But you left me living here

Married to a ghost

Then, it gets so cold at night-time

Never knew it got so cold at night-time

Sometimes dreams come true:

One night when the moon is blue

And I may come to you

With a love that's nearly-new
