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
