Squeeze - Separate Beds
(Difford/Tilbrook)
From the 1980 studio album, Argy Bargy.
[Intro]
F#
[Verse]
F#
Tonight I take her from her parents
I came along to her rescue
Without a word about arrangements
She came along without a clue
B
So I said my love I want to take you
A place I have inside my head
F#
And so it seemed I had to love you
C# B
With some caress and separate beds
[Chorus]
F
Her mother didn't like me
Am D#
She thought I was on drugs
F
My mother didn't like her
Am D#
She'd never peel the spuds
F
So we took off together
Am D#m D#
And stayed at Mrs. Smith's
F
Breakfast at half seven
A Cm G B D F#
Where you can view the cliffs
[Verse]
F#
The moon was full and in our window
I could see her turning in her bed
I was loved but all in limbo
There was time to pass but not to spend
B
Soon I saw that this was silly
Spending all my wages on this peach
F#
When we could sit so very pretty
C# B
And get our heads down out on the beach
[Chorus]
F
Her father seemed to like me
Am D#m D#
I helped him fix his car
F
My father seemed to like her
Am D#
And couldn't see the harm
F
In going off together
Am Cm
To see the pier and lights
F
So we could be together
Am Cm G B D F#
In separate beds tonight
[Outro]
F# E F#
[Repeat to fade]
