Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro ,

Verse

what a mess

what a lovely mess

you will try to talk your way out of this

and i'll pretend that i don't feel a thing

you will sit on your hands and look away

when our eyes they meet for far too long

i will think up excuses to escape

leaving you aching and cold

Chorus

but it's sensible

to sit up on this fence

it is easier to digest when you're just another muse

yeah it's sensible

but not to brave at all

if you're pulled in by my smile

you might not make it home tonight

(humming)

Verse

what a mess what a lovely mess

i will try to drink my way out of this

with you beside me glass in your hand

i will sit on my hands and look away

when our eyes they meet for far too long

you will think up excuses to escape

leaving me aching and cold

Chorus

but it's sensible

to sit up on this fence

it is easier to digest when you're just another muse

yeah it's sensible

but not to brave at all

if I’m pulled in by your smile

I might not make it home tonight

yeah it's sensible

cause i don't wanna lose you

i can't bare to give you up

i can't bare to see you go...

(humming)
