[Intro]
C Am F C
[Verse 1]
C Am F C
When we met I wasn’t on my game,
C Am F C
I’ve been called a lot of things I’m not ashamed to say,
C Am F C
Things like “Too political”, “Hyper cynical”,
C Am F C
But “kind of funny” felt okay.
C Am F C
It’s a blur back in the early days,
C Am F C
But the feelings keep on coming like the crashing waves,
C Am F C
In the sunny section, looking for affection,
C Am F C
Who needs Tenerife when we’ve got Whitley Bay?
[Chorus]
C Am F C
Oh my heart, I try to keep it open,
C Am F C
Oh my heart, I try to keep it full.
C Am F C
There’s a world outside where I feel so broken,
C Am F C
But you make me feel mendable.
[Verse 2]
C Am F C
Cursing trophies at the Bernabau,
C Am F C
That Lynchian exhibit really freaks me out,
C Am F C
There were sirens wailing, six men ailing,
C Am F C
I feel like throwing up right now.
C Am F C
We watched a movie, if I’m not mistaken,
C Am F C
Johnny Clay portrayed by Sterling Hayden,
C Am F C
Stick-up at the races, chiaroscuro faces,
C Am F C
Who needs heroes anyhow?
[Chorus]
C Am F C
Oh my heart, I try to keep it open,
C Am F C
Oh my heart, I try to keep it full,
C Am F C
There’s a world outside where I feel so broken,
C Am F C
But you make me feel mendable.
