F Bb
Don't bother saying you're sorry
F Bb
Why don't you come in
F Bb C
Smoke all my cigarettes again
F Bb
Every time I get no further
F Bb
How long has it been?
F Bb C
Come on in now, wipe your feet on my dreams
F Bb
You take up my time
F Bb
Like some cheap magazine
F Bb
When I could have been learning something
C
Oh well, you know what I mean, oh
F Bb
I've done this before
F Bb
And I will do it again
Bb
Come on and kill me baby
C
While you smile like a friend
F Bb
Oh and I'll come running
F
Just to do it again
You are the last drink I never should have drunk
You are the body hidden in the trunk
You are the habit I can't seem to kick
You are my secrets on the front page every week
You are the car I never should have bought
You are the dream I never should have caught
You are the cut that makes me hide my face
You are the party that makes me feel my age
Like a car crash I can see but I just can't avoid
Like a plane I've been told I never should board
Like a film that's so bad but I've got to stay till the end
Let me tell you now: it's lucky for you that we're friends.
