Sockets

B                  D
It wasn't her fault
B                             G
She made sugar taste like salt
B                    D
'cos she was so sweet
           G              D       
Now you're shuffling your feet 
       A             E
with your hands in your pockets

[Chorus]
B                  D
It wasn't her fault
B                             G
She made sugar taste like salt
B                              D
an' when she walked in the room
G                   D            
You could hear your eyes rolling 
A     E                B
round in their sockets
G                    A              
  B      - feedback sound
Their sockets, their sockets, their 
sockets

[Verse 2]
B                                 
She doesn't know if it's a 
       D
blessing or a curse
B                                 
Money in her hand but never any in
     G
 her purse
B                                 
Looking at the crowd thinking 
           D
who's it gonna be
G               D               
Who's the lucky boy who's gonna 
A         E
quench my thirst
B                                 
It wasn't her fault, no she didn't
        D
 have a say
B                                 
Spending every second wishing they
          G
 would go away
B                                 
Tying up her shoes, it's becoming 
  D
a problem
G                     D          
but that's the way it is and 
       A              E
that's the way it's gonna stay

[Verse 3]
B                                 
You can point the finger but she's
                D
 not the one to blame
B                             
For chemical reactions that are 
                   G
starting in your brain
B                                 
Looking at the crowd thinking 
           D
who's it gonna be
G               D               
Who's the lucky boy who's gonna 
A       E
ease my pain
B                                 
It wasn't her fault and she didn't
        D
 have a say

Spending every second wishing they
