[Intro]
A Dbm Bm E x2
[Verse 1]
A
When you left, you left me reeling
Dbm
But I'll try to fight this feeling
Bm
I thought you were as happy as a dicky-bird
E
Oh but for my love of another bird
A
Oh, now I'm stuck waiting
Dbm
a collier's wife will not stop scrating
Bm E
I hope you know that if I only could
I'd sing you songs like a lover should
[Chorus]
A E Dbm
If I took you by the hand
D A
It was cos you could hardly stand
E A
And I could hardly stand still
A E Dbm
I know there are things you'd like to do
D A
And I like wasting time with you
E A
But I'm still in it for the thrill
D A Bm A A
So lads, you know the drill
A Dbm Bm E x2
[Verse 2]
A
You took off and left me reeling
Dbm
I still don't care for this feeling
Bm
You sing in my ear like a mockingbird
E
But I'd be happy with any other bird
A
Oh, we wasted time like ??? but
Dbm
Times well spent lost in the gutter
Bm E
The stars we see don't mean a single thing
Oh, how we band of brothers sing
[Chorus]
A E Dbm
If I took you by the hand
D A
It was cos you could hardly stand
E A
And I could hardly stand still
A E Dbm
I know there are things you'd like to do
D A
And I like wasting time with you

But I'm still in it for the thrill
