Key:
Amaj7 F#m Bm D I was handed down the looks of a man with a broken nose
Amaj7 F#m Bm D That's the way our family was I suppose
Amaj7 F#m Bm D But at least you gave me deeply profound
Amaj7 F#m Bm D As we lay and chattered late upon the cricket ground
E D You didn'd have to love me
A E Where others got rid
E D You didn't have to treat me like a very good friend
A Bm But I'm glad you did
D E I'm glad that you did
A F#m One thing I never said to you
A F#m And one thing I never can
A F#m Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
A Bm D I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7 I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7 F#m Bm D I'm the richly blessed daughter of a mother with tatooed arms
Continues after the ad
Amaj7 F#m Bm D That's the way my family life, life was charmed
Amaj7 F#m Bm D But at least it gave me a mental grace
Amaj7 F#m Bm D And a thought at the pit of my mind and a smile on my face
E D You didn't have to listen
A E To a word that I'd said
E D You didn't have to tell me all those silly old jokes
A Bm D For every tear that I shed
E Every tear that I shed
A F#m 'Cos one thing I never said to you
A F#m And one thing I never can
A F#m Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
A Bm D I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7 I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7 F#m Bm D I was handed down a bike with a crooked old wheel
Amaj7 F#m Bm D But I rode it on a million lanes the way that you made me feel
Amaj7 F#m Bm D But at least we thought about it so long and so hard
Amaj7 F#m Bm D As we sat upon our mother in the graveyard
E D And you don't have to listen
A E To a word in this song
E D You picture hangs the same and in the same old place
A Bm D Even though that you've gone
E Even though that you've gone
A F#m 'Cos one thing I never said to you
A F#m And one thing I never can
A F#m Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
A Bm D I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7 I'm you No. 1 fan
