In the album version there is no capo but on the 2nd CD the acoustic version has a capo
the 2nd fret with the same chords.

The song is based around:

C G Am F G

The G is barred in the verse only after the F chord but it's not essential!

CHORUS:
C G
What took you so long was there a Queue at the post office

Am F
What took you so long was there a dirty Double decker stage coach

G
You just happend to miss

Lyrics:

You spend too much time sat in your bedroom, on your PC
Are you sure that you couldn’t have found the time,
Swallowed your pride and admitted your jealousy
Next week you’re trying again to pull one of your city’s many front men
If you do not have the internet, would you be into them
I very much doubt so what do they know so

What took you so long, was there a queue at the post office
What took you so long, was there a dirty double-decker stagecoach,
You just happened to miss

Well Oh Oh Oh, well oh oh oh, well oh oh oh....

You’re always bad and you’re always rotten and then you always say things that you just
have forgotten about people or things, do you know who I am I'm like a Morrissey with
strings

What took you so long, was there a queue at the post office
What took you so long, was there a dirty double-decker stagecoach,
You just happened to miss

Sometimes I’m bad and sometimes I’m rotten, sometimes I say things I probably, should
forgotten about people or things
Do you know who I am, I’m like a Morrissey with some strings

What took you so long, was there a queue at the post office
What took you so long, was there a dirty double-decker stagecoach,
you just happened to miss

You're always bad and you're always rotten and then you always say things that you just,
have forgotten or have you had enough of your stereotypical bit of the rough

What took you so long, was there a queue at the post office
What took you so long, was there a dirty double-decker stagecoach,
you just happened to miss

Ah, ah ah...whoa oh a oh. Whoa a oh oh a a a oh, Whoa a oh oh a a a oh.
