A Certain Romance Arctic Monkeys
Well oh they might wear Classic Reeboks B
Or knackered Converse, or tracky bottoms tucked in socks B
But all of that's what the point is not E
The point's that there ain't no romance around there Em
And there's the truth that they can't see B
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me B
And if you could only see them, then you would agree E
Agree that there ain't no romance around there Em
You know, oh it's a funny thing you know Abm F#
We'll tell 'em if you like, we’ll tell ‘em all tonight E Em
They'll never listen B
Cause their minds are made up Abm
And course it's all okay to carry on that way C#m F# B
‘Cos over there there's broken bones B
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones B
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes E
To see it's a little different around here Em
Don't get me wrong though there's boys in bands B
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands B
And just cause he's had a coupla cans E
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead Em
Don’t you know, oh it's a funny thing you know Abm F#
We'll tell 'em if you like, we’ll tell ‘em all tonight E Em
They'll never listen B
Cause their minds are made up Abm
And course it's all okay to carry on that way C#m F#
I said no, oh no Abm F#
Oh you won't get me to go! E Em
Anywhere, said anywhere B Abm
I won't go C#m F#
Oh no no! B
Well over there there's friends of mine B
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time B
And yeah they might overstep the line E
But I just cannot get angry in the same way Em B
No not in the same way B
Not in the same way E
Oh no, oh no no Em
