Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

There's a portrait

In a back room

Which I'll keep for days upon

Which I relent

And gaze for hours on

The muscle, skin and bone

Of some imaginary friend

So how about it

Show me please

How I will look in twenty years

And let me please

Interpret history

In every line and scar

That's painted there in front of me

It doesn't matter

What I'm thinking

What I tell myself to do

I end up calling

I stay in to

Defrost the fridge

Now the kid has gone to bed

A feeling of dread

At least when she's around

The trouble's there

It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

Listen Johnny

You're like a mother

To the girl you've fallen for

And you're still falling

Listen Johnny

You're like a mother

To the girl you've fallen for

And you're still falling

And if they come tonight

You'll roll up tight

And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

to end.
