G D
And nothing matters, nothing matters like it
Am C
did, like it did yesterday. Just yesterday,
G D
I learnt how to say bonjour which means hel-

We've lost our minds our marbles and our mothers at the
Am C
Debenhams in Friars Walk. The Debenhams in Friars Walk.
G D
The Debenhams in Friars Walk. I can't believe they closed the Deben-
Am C

Am C
In the beginning, they fucked it up.

We never needed any of the
Am C
deepest feelings, truest meanings
G D
hearts that beat in time with the drum of
Am C
ev'ry organism, capable of being
G D
crushed by the soft warm hands of Christ. Our
Am C
Saviour, your behaviour paved the
G D
way for... This.
