It Makes The Room Look Bigger

G
I’ve just finished decorating, it 
was very irritating
      C                         
And I know they’re going to come 
          G           C           
around tonight and I know they’re 
                   G
gonna say to me tonight:
D7                      G      
“It makes the room look bigger;
D7                      G
 it makes the room look bigger”.


G
So let’s forget about the open-top 
bus ride; standing tall on the town 
hall balcony
C                       G        
It’s about as likely as hen’s 
    C                       G
teeth; it’s about as likely as hen’s
 teeth
D7                    G      D7 
And as the light gets dimmer, I 
                     G
watch the chance get slimmer.


        C                          
But I’m putting up a hook to hang 
  G
my hopes upon
          C                    
There’s a fella coming round to 
           G
stick the gas back on
       C                     
And if truth be told now that 
 G
Thelma’s gone

It makes the room look bigger.


G
I’m drawn towards the souvenir 
stores; I twirl around the key fob 
rack
          C                        
Well it’s alright for Nicholas and 
    G               C             
for Neil, yeah well how do you 
                 G
think that makes me feel?
D7                      G  D7   
And all the while I can see I’m 
          G
on the CCTV.


(no chord)
Elderly lady at the bus stop thinks 
I’m going to eat her and so to 
reassure her
  C               G
I ask her for the time
        C                    
And her sense of relief at my 
 G               C                
friendly tone reveals itself in 
   G
her karmic moan:
         C                      
“You can wait twenty minutes and 
 G
nothing comes along
         C                     Eb
And then all of a sudden three thugs
 rob your pension
            D7             
Oh, there’s generally one a 
        G
twenty-five past
        D7                      G
There’s generally one at twenty-five
 past
          D7                 
They come swinging round that 
 G
corner,
     Eb                  G         
They think they’re Benny Goodman”.

Korn show with a sub-machine gun.
