Verse 1
B
Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
B
Or knackered Converse
B
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
E
But all of that's what the point is not
Em
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
B
And there's the truth that they can't see
B
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
B E
And if you could only see them, then you would agree

Agree that there ain't no romance around there

And course it's all okay to carry on that way
Verse 2
B
And over there there's broken bones
B
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
E
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
Em
To see it's a little different around here
B
Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
B
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
E
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
Em
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Well over there there's friends of mine
