D G D
I sup - pose love lives in a dustbin
G D
Be - hind the garden wall
G
You have to grovel on the ground
D
and be pretty dis - gusting
G
to find it at all
D G
And I suppose that it grows on you
D G
Standing there with no clothes on
D
and I suppose
G D
because there's beautiful girls in this town
G
I'll stay here till I've chosen one.
D G
I suppose life's like a hunt, really
D
the hounds have fun
G
until the fox gets bagged
D G
And not one girl in this town
D
will ever fall in love with me:
G
They'll get dragged.

D
Her heart
G D
speaks to me; says the room the room the room
G
Be - neath her dress, and
D G
I suppose that it beats for me
D G
Like a hammering moon pulling tides through her chest
D G
Sup - pose she says that she owes me
D G
all that she owns and all that she is
D G
It seems to me I sup - pose that
D
her heart's not enough
G
and her love is a swizz

D G D
So sup - pose love lives in a mansion
G D
how the hell do I get over the wall
G D
And if my rope's not stretched the right tension
D D
I won't cross this grand canyon at all
G
And I suppose that it grows like a tumor
D
spreads like a rumor
G D
like the grass grows and inch in every day
G
And I suppose that be - fore I even know it
D
the tide will start flowing
G B5
and the drum beneath my jacket will say
D5 B5
You know you need her every - day
D B5
You know you need her every - day

You know you need her every - day
