Here I am I'm just lyin' on the floor with you We had to get drunk it was the only thing that we could do Well it's funny coz I thought that it could've turned out quite romantic But it isn't like that which is fine coz it means I can stand it

D                                C

'Round my house you give me information then you go home But it sure beats talking all that foolish nonsense on the telephone I don't know about the implications of all this I just feel so-so And it's a measure of a feeling that I can't identify that I can let you go

Repeat chorus stuff, ad lib on departed pets and breaking rules, throw in some Petula Clark/Chrissie Hynde lyrics and a genius Max guitar part and enjoy! Received on Wed Oct 1 15:57:47 1997
