C#m D Dmaj7 A F#m E
[Verse]
C#m
A cut-out picture of a sugar tart
D
With olive skin, a purple heart,
A
Concrete shoes, and it's just the start
F#m E
Of bigger things unseen.
C#m
Heroes of our glory days
D
Ride upon the hip-hoorays
A
Of hometown girls who've been displayed
E A
In dirty magazines.
[Chorus]
E F#m
"And what am I supposed to do with you?"
E F#m D
Just tell me everything I've heard before
A E F#m
Like it was news, Like it was news
[Verse]
C#m
The miners strike, hold out for love
D
We bust their heads, push and shove,
A
By helmet light, we rise above
F#m E
And say, "look out below!"
C#m
They're such a grim, romantic crew,
D
Swear they won't forget but do,
A
It leaves them free to cry anew
E A
At every song we know.
[Chorus]
E F#m
"And what am I supposed to do with you?"
E F#m D
Just tell me everything I want to hear
A E F#m
Like it was true, Like it was true
[Verse]
C#m
Sometimes I wish that I was king
D
And held the end of every string,
A
The fear, the prize, the mortal sting
F#m E
Of what will come of this.
C#m
For now I'll let all chance unwind
D
To keep our secret hearts entwined,
A
And if I choose to see this as a sign
E A
It surely is.
[Chorus]
E F#m
"And what am I supposed to do with you?"
E F#m D
Just tell me everything I've heard before
