Dm7                          G
We said you were marriage material
                    Dm7                      G
We were living on cereal in our flat by the bay
Dm7                            G
No one would have said it was dignified
               Dm7                          G
It's a miracle no one died in a horrific way


[Chorus]
         F      G              Em
You were all we had to live for
                     F  Dm7
Was never meant to be
                G
You were not a real woman
      Dm7              G
But how were we to see?
         F       G               Em           F Dm7
We could not keep from crying when we realised
             G                               Dm7 G Dm7 G
We were just another bunch of solitary guys


[Verse 2]
  Dm7                                G
When you first disappeared we were overjoyed
                            Dm7
You’d not been letting us boys be boys
                           G
And we'd just wanted to play
       Dm7                               G
But slowly it dawned that there was now nothing for us
                       Dm7
Might as well lie in front of a bus
                     G
Hopeless in every way


[Chorus]
             F        G              Em
Cos you were all we'd had to live for
                    F     Dm7
Was never meant to be
                    G
Cos we were never real men
    Dm7                G
But we could never see
         F        G               Em             F Dm7
It was hard to keep from crying when we realised
              G
We were now forever to be solitary guys
