(Difford/Tilbrook)
Piccadilly (Difford/Tilbrook)
[Intro]
A D 8x
[Verse]
A D E A
She's not a picture above somebody's fire
D Bm G C
She sits in a towel with a purple hair dryer,
F E
She waits to get even with me
A D E A
She hooks up her cupcakes and puts on her jumper
D Bm G C
Explains that she'll be late to a worrying mother,
F E
She meets me in Piccadilly
[Verse]
C F C F
A begging folk singer stands tall by the entrance
C F C F
His song relays worlds of most good intentions,
D G D G D G | D G
A five p a ten p in his hat for collection
A D A D
She talks about office she talks about dresses
A D A D
She's seen one she fancies her smile is impressing,
D A G A G
So maybe I'll treat her someday
[Verse]
A D A D
We queue among strangers and strange conversation
A D A D
Love's on the lips of all forms of engagements,
D A G A G
All queuing to see tonight's play
C F C F
A man behind me talks to his young lady
C F C F
He's happy that she is expecting his baby,
D G D G D G | D G
His wife won't be pleased but she's not been round lately
[Verse]
A D E A
The girl was so dreadful we left in a hurry
D Bm G C
Escaped in the rain for an Indian curry,
F E
At the candle lit Taj Mahal
A D E A
My lips to a napkin I called for a taxi
D Bm G C
The invite of eyes made it tense but relaxed me,
F E
My mind took a devious stroll
[Verse]
C F C F
The cab took us home through a night I'd not noticed
C F C F
The neon club lights of adult films and Trini Lopez,
D G D G D G | D G
My arm around love but my acting was hopeless
A D A D
We crept like two thieves from the kettle to the fire
A D A D
We kissed to the sound of the silence that we'd hired,
D A G A G
Now captured, your love in my arms
[Verse]
A D A D
A door open'd slightly a voice spoke in worry
A D A D
Mum went to bed without wind of the curry,
D A G A G
Our secret love made it's advance
[Verse]
C F C F
Like Adam and Eve we took bite on the apple
C F C F
Loose change in my pocket it started to rattle,
[Chorus]
D G D G
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle
D G D G
(Heart like a gun was just half of the battle)
D G D G
Like Adam and Eve we took bite on the apple
D G D G
(Heart like a gun was just half of the battle)
D G D G
Loose change in my pocket it started to rattle,
D G D G
(Heart like a gun was just half of the battle)
D G D G
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle
D G D G
(Heart like a gun was just half of the battle)
D G D G
Like Adam and Eve we took bite on the apple
D G D G
(Heart like a gun was just half of the battle)
D G D G
Loose change in my pocket it started to rattle,
D G D G
(Heart like a gun was just half of the battle)
D G D G
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle
D G D G
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle
[Outro]
