Intro: A F#m A F#m A F#m E A B E A B E A B E A B
E A B E A B E A B E
Once upon a sign I read a warning and it said
A B E A B E
'When in Rome don't feed the lions'
A B E A B E A B
What it meant I can't hazard a guess
B E A B E A B
But now I've learnt my lesson I'm a better person
E A B E A B
I'm filled up with high hopes and I'm fed up with soft soaps
C#m B
Long in the tooth and short on wisdom
F#m B
Up to here with the ache of it
E C#m
And if the matchmaker calls hand in hand
E B
With a catch of the day I'll rise to the bait
E
But it'll still be more than a heart can take
C#m
More than feeling great
E B
More than a tongue can tell
E A B E A B B E A B
I'd need to take leave of my senses to get a moment's rest
E A B
Following in footsteps
E A B E A B B
Footsure in fancy dress
C#m B
Head in my hands I'm making plans
F#m B
Hoovering up for the day
E C#m
When the matchmaker calls hand in hand
E B
With the catch of the day I'll raise to the bait
E
But it'll still be more then a heart can take
C#m
More than feeling great
E B
More than a tongue can tell
Instrumental break: F# G#m B C# F# G#m B C#
C#m G#m
And the itch to get rich quick
A B
Has never been so hard to reach
E A B E A B
With my hands tied behind my back
E A B E A B B
Shin deep in cement and sand
E
Just like the anchor-man I broke loose
C#m
And crashed to the sea bed
E B
Clutching the shortest straw
E C#m
And if you threw me a line that's as smart as you think
E
It wouldn't stop me sinking down to cry
B E C#m E B
On what flashed before my eyes
Repeat E C#m E B and fade
E A B E A B E A B E
