[Verse 1]
G5                     
So we’re at this shindig 
       D/F#                     
everything’s going on they’re so 
          G5
filthy rich
Comparing oil rigs, how their 
D/F#
girlfriend’s new car is so kitsch
G5                                
Hanging off the chandeliers, their
   D/F#
 daughters are scoring with the 
auctioneers
G5                                
And the oldies at the back try 
                          D/F#
their best to hack their way out 
with the gardener’s pruning shears


[Verse 2]
            Dsus4
And they’re discussing champagne
    Gmaj9                   
The latest and greatest lame 
                         Dsus4
campaign, and how their brothers own
 shares one
Gmaj9                             
Day it’ll make them millionaires, 
    Dsus4
you see this girl, she
Gmaj9
Looks like she crawled out the lost 
and found
    Dsus4
She pulls right up to my ear and 
says
Gmaj9
Whatever you do don’t turn


[Chorus]
G               A11
Roundabouts and washing lines
G                                 
We do each other's laundry in our 
A11
hearts sometimes
C
Come back
C
Come back
C
We don’t have time to fuck around
G          A11
Abouts and washing lines
G                                
We do each others laundry in our 
A11
hearts sometimes
C
Come back

[Verse 3]
Only one not wearing cufflinks, 
D/F#                            
only one not begging to buy her 
G5
drinks
Watching the clocks and
       D/F#
Do you think she even knows I bought
 my shoes from Oxfam
G5
And they’re telling jokes
D/F#                            G5
Got that one about two men in a tent
                               D/F#
Laughs out loud at mine do you like 
my accent like my accent


[Verse 4]
Dsus4                       Gmaj9
And I’ll watch her ruin her life and
 dye her hair bright colours
Dsus4
Become someone’s wife
Gmaj9
Forget the girl that she once was
Dsus4
And I’ll sit by
Gmaj9                             
Cocktail gripped in a shaking hand
          Dsus4                    
 thinking what the hell went wrong 
       Gmaj9
cos we had this planned
Had it all planned


[Chorus]
G               A11
Roundabouts and washing lines
G                                 
We do each other's laundry in our 
A11
hearts sometimes
C
Come back
C
Come back
C
We don’t have time to fuck around
G          A11
Abouts and washing lines
G                                
We do each others laundry in our 
A11
hearts sometimes
C
Come back
C
Come back
C                            G5
we don’t have time to fuck around

[Verse 5]
G5
It’s getting late
D/F#
Look a complete and utter state
G5
She pops out the blue and says
D/F#
Doesn’t matter mate

G5
See this girl she’s been around
D/F#
Bet you a pound
G5
She pulls right up to my ear and 
says
D/F#                         Dsus4
Whatever you do, don’t turn 'round


[Verse 6]
          Gmaj9                    
My entire life it’s running away 
  Dsus4
too fast
                       Gmaj9     
Watching everyone I’ve ever loved 
      Dsus4
walk past
                   Gmaj9
Never really quite getting the knack
 of
Dsus4
Knowing no one will not
Gmaj9
Ever come back for you


[Chorus]
G               A11
Roundabouts and washing lines
G                                 
We do each other's laundry in our 
A11
hearts sometimes
C
Come back

Come back

We don’t have time to fuck around
G          A11
Abouts and washing lines
G                                
We do each others laundry in our 
A11
hearts sometimes
C
Come back

Come back
C                            G5
we don’t have time to fuck around
