A
When you left, you left me reeling
Dbm
But I'll try to fight this feeling
  Bm
I thought you were as happy as a dicky-bird
E
Oh but for my love of another bird
A
Oh, now I'm stuck waiting
Dbm
a collier's wife will not stop scrating
Bm                              E
I hope you know that if I only could

I'd sing you songs like a lover should

[Chorus] 
A    E               Dbm
If I took you by the hand
           D                A 
It was cos you could hardly stand
           E                   A
And I could hardly stand still
A                E                   Dbm
I know there are things you'd like to do
           D                 A
And I like wasting time with you
              E             A
But I'm still in it for the thrill
   D         A    Bm  A     A
So lads, you know the drill

A Dbm Bm E x2

[Verse 2] 
A
You took off and left me reeling
  Dbm
I still don't care for this feeling
    Bm
You sing in my ear like a mockingbird
       E
But I'd be happy with any other bird
A
Oh, we wasted time like ??? but
Dbm
Times well spent lost in the gutter
    Bm                                    E
The stars we see don't mean a single thing

Oh, how we band of brothers sing

[Chorus]  
A    E               Dbm
If I took you by the hand
           D                A 
It was cos you could hardly stand
           E                   A
And I could hardly stand still
A                E                   Dbm
I know there are things you'd like to do
           D                 A
And I like wasting time with you
              E             A
But I'm still in it for the thrill
   D         A    Bm  A
So lads, you know the drill
