Album: Instant Coffee Baby
Tab by Plabon
Standard tuning
C
Well the words that we spoke in the bar, in the car
F
And at Goose Fair on the waltzers
G F
And the big wheel in her kitchen in the greenhouse in my garden
Em Dm
Dozing in the giant pillow of a bouncy castle
C F
With Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel
Halfway down to Blackpool Tower
G F
These words have filled my finest hours
Em Dm
Like a bottle of milk they soured
C
And I'm wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
F
Wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
G F
If your skin is still as thin
Em Dm
As it was those mornings
C
We were sieved together and fried in pans
F G
And on your make-up stand it said my number in red
F
But you had filled your net
Em Dm
Sending off your kids like crows
C
Still, in Wymeswold at the end of the summer
F
I could smoke one off the end of another
G F
And I could say the right thing and piss off your mother
Em Dm
Who you never really cared for
C
But now I'm wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
F
Wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
G F
If your skin is still as thin
Em Dm C
As it was those mornings anyway...
F
Anyway!
C
Anyway!
F
Anyway!
[solo]
C F
Well there is light in any one of these tunnels
Spurting up the stained funnel
G F
Of your Italian ex-boyfriend's coffee machine
Em Dm
Which I stole when he left for Bologna
C
And when I burnt my finger on it
F
It's like he came back and bit me for it
G
And you got cystitis didn't you
Dm
Didn't you then
C
With no purpose but to work
And feel physical in nylon
F
With the chocolate we survived on
(The chocolate we dined on!)
G F
Melting in its plastic wrapper packet (in your pocket!)
Em Dm
You crawled eight-legged down the drive
C
And I'm wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
F
Wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
G F
If your skin is still as thin
Em Dm C
As it was those mornings anyway...
F
Anyway!
C
Anyway!
F
Anyway!
C F
Anyway? Anyway...
