My Year In Lists

           Bb                 F
You said, "Send me stationary to 
make me horny"
Dm                            C
So I always write you letters in 
multicolours
Bb                  F
Decorating envelopes for foreplay
Dm                      C
Damn extended metaphors, I get 
carried away
Bb               F
On the back of a natural disaster
       Dm                       C
Fixed with parcel tape and with kids
 sticking plasters
Bb               C
Nothing says, "I miss you" quite 
like
    F
War poetry you carved in your door 
with a Stanley knife


[Chorus]
Bb C             F
      My year in lists
Bb                                 
Stomping on your fingers as you're 
C                  F
clinging on to the abyss
Continues after the ad
          Bb                    
So put on every winter coat that 
        C
you've owned since '98
          F                
And every midnight sees the 
               C
countdown to another awful day
  Bb
I cherish with fondness the day 
(before) I met you
  F
I cherish with fondness the day 
(before) I met you
  Bb                           
I cherish with fondness the day 
                     G
(before) I met you


[Verse 2]
Bb            F
On your request, I compile a list
Dm             C
Of my top five resolutions for this 
year (One!)
Bb          F
I declined 'cause I decided that I 
(Two!)
Dm                    C
Do not believe in the New Year 
anymore (Three!)
Bb                   F
And you must confess that at times 
like these
Dm                  C
Hopefulness is tantamount to 
hopelessness (Four!)
Bb                F
And I accept that it's time for a 
change
           Dm                   
But not in places like this with 
 C
people like these (Five! Five! Five!
 Five! Five!)


[Chorus]
Bb C             F
      My year in lists
Bb                                 
Stomping on your fingers as you're 
C                  F
clinging on to the abyss
          Bb                    
So put on every winter coat that 
        C
you've owned since '98
          F                
And every midnight sees the 
               C
countdown to another awful day
  Bb
I cherish with fondness the day 
(before) I met you
  F
I cherish with fondness the day 
(before) I met you
  Bb                           
I cherish with fondness the day 
                     G
(before) I met you
