[Intro]
Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm Em
Her profile picture looks appealing
Bm Em
The advert was misleading
Bm Em
He's on a date this evening
Bm Em
Trying to get with that perfect ten
Bm Em
She walked in, he was keen
Bm Em
Looking like Cara Delevingne
Bm Em
She had those gorgeous eyes
Bm
But evidently nowt between
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
And he don't want to be rude
Bm
Let's do drinks not food
Em
Can't stay long and it's getting on
Bm
'Cause I've got a lot of work to do
Bm
So he'll get back home
Bm
And that was that
G
Cause she's a lovely girl
Em
But he won't text her back
[Chorus]
Bm
He's got a right to be not easily pleased
G
He's got that higher set of standards
Em
He's a fucking Tinder fiend
Bm
He's got a right to swipe, he'll do it again
G
He's got those higher expectations
Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em
He's a seven that's in search of ten
[Verse 2]
Bm Em
They've been chatting for ages
Bm Em
She's got good conversation
Bm Em
She works in House Of Fraser
Bm Em
Pretty sure that she's a perfect ten
Bm Em
He likes this one for sure
Bm
Video call, he can't ignore
Bm
When he answered on the phone
Bm
He saw the toys all on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
And he don't want to be harsh
Bm
Even though they've got sparks
Em
He didn't want kids and he'll never get rid
Bm
She got it with her from the start
Bm
But he asked her "Go"
Bm
'Cause someone's at the door
G
But when she calls him back
Em
She'll get that call ignored
[Chorus]
Bm
He's got a right to be not easily pleased
G
He's got that higher set of standards
Em
He's a fucking Tinder fiend
Bm
He's got a right to swipe, he'll do it again
G
He's got those higher expectations
Em Bm
He's a seven that's in search of ten
[Guitar Solo]
Bm G Em Bm G Em Bm
Em Bm Em
[Verse 3]
Bm Em
He's on another date
Bm Em
Turned up twenty minutes late
Bm Em
Didn't even hesitate
Bm Em
To scan the room for that perfect ten
Bm Em
He finally spots her face
Bm Em
Sitting with a gin and lemonade
Bm Em
She lied about her age
Bm
And just a tad about her weight
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
But he don't want to be mean
Bm
Nor does he want to be seen
Em
Out with her but it really won't hurt
Bm
If he stops in for a pint or three
Bm
But he don't drink and drive
Bm
And that's his limit
G
So he'll call a taxi
Em
And he'll stick her in it
[Chorus]
Bm
He's got a right to be not easily pleased
G
He's got that higher set of standards
Em
He's a fucking Tinder fiend
Bm
He's got a right to swipe, he'll do it again
G
He's got those higher expectations
Em Bm
He's a seven that's in search of ten
Bm Em
He's got a right to be not easily pleased
Bm Em
He's got that higher set of standards
Bm Em
He's a fucking Tinder fiend
Bm
He's got a right to swipe, he'll do it again
Bm
He's got those higher expectations
Bm
He's a seven that's in search...
Bm
He's got a right to be not easily pleased
G
He's got that higher set of standards
Em
He's a fucking Tinder fiend
Bm
He's got a right to swipe, he'll do it again
G
He's got those higher expectations
Em Bm
He's a seven that's in search of ten
