The Beautiful South were an English pop group formed at the end of the 1980s by former members of Hull group The Housemartins - Paul Heaton and Dave Hemingway. The duo were initially joined by Sean Welch (bass), Dave Stead (drums) and Dave Rotheray (guitar), all of whom stayed with the group throughout their 19-year career. Later additions included female vocalist Briana Corrigan; she was replaced by Jacqui Abbott, who in turn was replaced by Alison Wheeler.

DBmGA If if you choose that we will always lose DBmEA Well then I'll sail this ship alone DBmGA And if if you decide to give him another try DBmEmA Well then I'll sail this ship alone
GA Well they said if I wrote the perfect love song DBm You would take me back GEm Well I wrote it but I lost it A And now will you take me back anyway
Now if if you insist that this is for the best Well then I'll sail this ship alone And if if you swear that you no longer care Well then I'll sail this ship alone
DD7 I'll sail this ship alone GA Between the pain and the pleasure DD7 I'll sail this ship alone GA Amongst the sharks and the treasure GAGAGA If you would rather go your way then go your way N/C I'll sail this ship alone
If if you're afraid that I won't make the grade Well then I'll sail this ship alone And if if you agree to him instead of me Well then I'll sail this ship alone
Well they said if I wrote the perfect letter That I would have a chance Well I wrote it and you burned it And now do I have a chance anyway
If if you swear that you no longer care Well then I'll sail this ship alone
[Chorus]
Well they said if I burnt myself alive That you'd come running back
