Standard (EADGBE)

When you were satisfying your thirst for success

And you looked older than I did

I didn't think that that was you at your best

We were only lonely little kids

Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes

We were little kids

And you could say sorry ten billion times

But sorry didn't do what you did

I threw myself at you and I threw myself away

Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes

Johnny Cash died today and you say, you say things

Lovely things, to lovely other people

And I'm not invited.

But I love the back garden at my parents' place

And I love the view out of my Glasgow window

And I love waking up on the floor of a flat in New York,

And you don't know any of these things.

And I've seen you selling shoes but you've never heard me sing

And I used to hate your boyfriend and the things you did

Somehow I found out and I was disappointed

But I don't need therapy because I have cigarettes

And I don't have any bad memories only bitter regrets

Johnny Cash died today and I could take a train

And take an hour to think on the way of what I would say when I saw you

And I could walk into the shop and buy myself some black platform shoes

Talk to all the other girls and just ignore you

Or I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you

'cause I adore you

I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you

Johnny Cash died today and you'd say, you'd say

It's not like Elvis

It's not like Elvis

It's not like Elvis

It's not like Elvis

though is it And you would be right

Solo
